Solution to Last Week's Puzzler
Architecture Puzzler #83
Question
The architect's work on the Aronoff Center of Design and Art for the University of Cincinnati was described in Architecture magazine (August 1996 ) as follows: "He set transformative operations to work and play on elementary forms, making them complex, and their shifting imprint on the building is a color-coded Braille that speaks to the body, challenging equilibrium." Which well known architect is author Joseph Giovannini referring to?
Answer
The quote refers to Peter Eisenman. Please note that after careful study of the drawings and text in the article some sense can be made of this statement.
