Peter Eisenman

Architecture is not about building; it's about ideas.

The problem with architecture today is that it's too concerned with solving problems. It should be about creating problems.

Form follows fiction.

Deconstruction is not destruction; it's an unveiling.

Architecture is a language, and like any language, it can be used to say things that are not immediately obvious.

The void is not an absence; it's a presence.

I'm interested in architecture that makes you think, not just architecture that makes you comfortable.

The site is not just a place; it's a text.

Architecture is always about the past, the present, and the future, all at once.

My work is not about beauty; it's about truth.

The grid is not a constraint; it's a liberation.

Architecture is a form of writing, and buildings are its sentences.

I don't believe in style; I believe in ideas.

The object of architecture is not to create a perfect form, but to create a problematic one.

Architecture is a critical act.

The meaning of a building is not in its function, but in its form.

I'm interested in the unsaid, the unbuilt, the invisible.

Architecture is a way of thinking about the world.

The past is not something to be replicated, but something to be reinterpreted.

Architecture is a dialogue with history.
