Peter Eisenman – Chora I Works
Architects are crazy, but Peter Eisenman took this craziness to another level. Ladies and gentleman please visit your district or campus library and search for his book – Chora I Works.
No, Peter Eisenman is not a worm, not a book worm either, I have no idea why that punch-card ballot box look but it is really annoying, the worst part about all of his books and I mean all of his books is the lack of image titles, not a single diagram comes with a title.
It takes a thief to catch a thief, and if you so happen to understand his work… good luck. I guess that is why Peter Eisenman was not chosen for the Pritzker Architecture Prize, anyway, his client the Franks has this to say:
Architects famously fail to follow up on the success or failure of their work when it is complete. Once those beautiful, and unoccupied, buildings appear in Architectural Record, the job is done. There seem to be few studies of how architecture evolves under habitation. by Suzanne Frank

Sir Richard Rogers – Pritzker Prize 2007
Pritzker Architecture Prize 2007 goes to Sir Richard Rogers, I’ve got no idea who this architect is and what type of architecture he practice. The 2006 Pritzker Architecture Prize won by Paulo Mendes da Rocha from Barzil, as usual I’ve got no idea who this guy is. I guess architecture is not my cup of tea.
Below is an image of how a Pritzker Architecture Prize looks like, it is made of bronze (why not gold?) and designed by Louis H. Sullivan generally acknowledged as the father of the skyscraper.
