Peter Eisenman

Architects design houses. I live in a home.

I don't design houses with the nuclear family idea because I don't believe in it as a concept.

I don't believe that classical architecture is enough to engage people anymore. They say: 'So what else is new?'

I am immersed in architecture all day, working in my office or teaching.

The more centralized the power, the less compromises need to be made in architecture.

Architecture is definitely a political act.

The problem with digital architecture is that an algorithm can produce endless variations, so an architect has many choices.

I truly believe that the great heroes that create the history of architecture are people who take risks and write to tell about it.

I'm a Larry David fan, right? And it seems to me that Jewish history from the Talmud on has been a self-deprecating, self-critical kind of humor.
