Peter Eisenman | 'E-Day' Reviews

For the reviews with Peter Eisenman, Tom and I added to our work on voids and casings by looking at the fragments of our site in greater detail to try and learn how the population deal with casing and void in their everyday lives. This starts to link with earlier ideas from our projects about intimacy/performance.

These fragments were:
  1. chimney stack (which had been fitted retrospectively and strapped onto the existing)
  2. staircase tower - with access balconies. (which had been treated as an object in a similar way to the chimney)
  3. semi-enclosed courtyard (which starts to identify the disassociation of the population with courtyard life - the void)
We also built a model which looks at the internal relationship between spaces within a void (in this case spaces between the backs of buildings). The cast plaster represents the voids between buildings, the timber (up to the cut line is built material or ground, and then past the cut line is under sea level). The stacked card starts to show the dence infrastructure, with car park and metro under the site.
