Peter Eisenman discussed two forms of archtiecture (zeitgeist and genius loci) in relation to his work. Zeitgeist being the 'spirit of the times', while genius loci is the 'spirit of the place'.
He tracked the changing use of these through the twentyeth century, in terms of Learning from Las Vagas and Global Capitalisation.
He stated that his project for Cidade da Cultura de Galicia is trying to connect to both of these terms by the incorporation of the 'spirit of the time' and the creation of a new place.
