Abstract
Description
Includes descriptive metadata provided by producer in MP4 file: "Chancellor's Lecture Series - Videos - Peter Eisenman 'Architecture Matters'" Social upheaval leads to new paradigms in architecture. Most recently, 9/11 changed the context for architecture. Buildings such as stadia are the new icons of civic pride and engagement. American culture in recent times has lacked a sense of social involvement; Americans don't invest in creating public spaces in the same way that Europeans do. Eisenman describes his work on the Holocaust Memorial in Germany and its success.
