Peter Eisenman

American architect Peter Eisenman is a deconstructivist who shuns the term. He embraces unconventional theories that have shrouded him in controversy.

Deconstructivism is a development of postmodern architecture that began in the late 1980s. It centers on the ideas of fragmentation, an interest in manipulating ideas of a structure’s surface that distort some of the elements of architecture itself.

Deconstructivists seek to move architecture away from what they see as the confining ‘rules’ of modernism such as “form follows function”, “purity of form”, and “truth to materials.” They prefer to stimulate unpredictability and control chaos. Read more

Charles Moore – Working within the existing context

Charles Moore

Charles Willard Moore was a postmodern innovator, an architect who pushed the envelope with the use of loud colors and unconventional materials.

Born in Benton Harbor in 1925, Moore was highly educated, beginning with a bachelor’s degree in architecture from the University of Michigan, where he enrolled at age 16. He went on to earn a master’s of fine arts from Princeton, a Ph.D. in architecture from Princeton and a post-doctorate fellowship in architecture also from Princeton. He studied with Ecoletrained Jean Labatut, the Milanese architect Enrico Peressutti and American architect Louis Kahn.
Charles Moore – architecture 2
It was clear very early, his absolute love and dedication to architecture. His doctoral dissertation on water and architecture became the basis of a later book about the role of fountains in public spaces. While still in school, he designed and built a home for his mother in Pebble Beach, California. He established relationships with life-long friends, collaborators and fellow students including Donlyn Lyndon, William Turnbull, Jr., Richard Peters and Hugh Hardy.

Ingo Maurer

How many design artists does it take to recreate the light bulb? Lighting is very simple. You turn a switch and the area is illuminated by a source.
Ingo Maurer bulb

It’s something you don’t think about – it just happens. Some people can see past what we see, and look beyond what is common. Ingo Maurer is one of those creative visionaries who can see possibilities where most see the obvious.

Ingo Maurer was born on the Island of Reichenau, Lake Constance, Germany in 1932. He began his training as a typographer in Germany and Switzerland. Then from 1954 -1958 he trained as a graphic designer in Munich. Beginning work as a freelance modern designer, he emigrated to New York and San Francisco, only to make a return to Munich in 1963. By 1966 he had founded the studio Design M, which became Ingo Maurer GmbH & Company. This is where he designed his first lamp for an installation at the Herman Miller Showroom, “Bulb”, which celebrates Thomas Edison and the simple light bulb. It’s a large outer bulb made from hand blown glass that houses a single light bulb held by a chrome plated base. It was so successful that he had to produce more to match the demand.
