As an architectural theorist, Peter Eisenman, founder and chairman of Eisenman Architects (NYC), occupies an exceptional position with his antitheses to classicism, his rejection of classicism’s moral imperative and his avoidance of typologies. His status as an architect can be recognized in light of a large number of pioneering buildings. At the 9th Venice Biennale of Architecture in 2004, Eisenman was awarded the Golden Lion for his life’s work. As a teacher, Peter Eisenman is at home at the most important universities. And in the Holocaust Memorial in Berlin, which was opened on 10 May 2005, Eisenman created a monument of architectonic commemorative culture.Lecture on the occasion of the exhibition PETER EISENMAN. Barfuß auf weiß glühenden Mauern  (15 December 2004–22 May 2005)
