i saw this interview about the cardinals stadium with eisenman and he said 'since this stadium is built, when people will talk about phoenix they will say they want to see FLW, Will Bruder and Eisenman' - what a self-appreciating tool !
if anyone is in the area, eisenman will be speaking at U. of Cincinnati on the 11th as part of a three-day long symposium celebrating, or at least contemplating the 10 year anniversary of the Aronoff Center for Art and Design which he designed. The topic of his lecture is not definite, but the main event will be the Q and A session where you might see a signature architect squirm a good deal as he handles questions on the building around him.
there are also several panel discussions with notable guests.
chaptertwo:
is anyone going to ask him about that mold smell?
or about how he blew the budget on design and couldn't afford a more appropriate exterior finish
or how the interior is in desperate need of some work because art/design students tend to beat things up and they do it faster when everything is so damn cheap?
how anyone who falls under the ADA guidlines is kind of screwed?
also, I love that building! it takes a solid 4 years to really grow to appreciate how wonderful, strange, alarming, beautiful, consistent and complex it truly is.
after reading the interview, does anyone else have the problem of not being able to get rid of the image of Eisenman sitting around in his bow tie watching porn?
So your telling me to be a great architect you really need have a healthy addiction to porn, erotic fiction and Sandy Koufax. I should be world renowned in no time at all.
Eisenman, while I respect his work, has always come across as the larger of the "pampas ass" architects that grace the pages of most architectural magazines.
Recent Metropolis Eisenman Interview
A text message interview, fairly interesting idea. But at the end Eisenman is asked his dream job and his answer is from a rabbi's recent suggestion
“I want you to consider the possibility of a radical sacred space for the twenty-first century.”
What does he mean by radical sacred space?
you weren't a little curious about the fact that he love's porn and erotic fiction?
what does he mean by that!
Well yeah, I thought that was already universal knowledge.
More concerned with what exactly is meant by radical scared space.
eroticism has nothing to do with the sacred, thump, thump.
newman: Radically scared space might be very interesting.

does he mean sacred space for radicals?
does he mean SUPER/uber sacred space?
or does he mean a modern swing on the idea of sacred space?
can we have sacred space in the modern culture?
is there such an idea of virtual sacred space?

that's how i get my inspiration as well...
By watching porn, or by thinking of Eisenman sitting around in his bow tie watching porn?
maybe sitting around in a bowtie pretending to be eisenman watching porn or reading a nice erotic fiction paperback
"Eisenman sitting around in his bow tie watching porn" that's an awful thing now burned into my retinas...
but funny, very, very funny...
eisenman has more than one shrink.
add a foot ball helmet to the porn watching, bow tie wearing peter.
this makes me liike eisenman a hell of a lot more.
poor aeaa up there accused of being drunk when he / she has just inserted a delightful oxymoronic device to the discussion
anyway, now I intend to actually *read* the article in question...
Hah! He agrees with me about Jeff Kipnis.
i wonder how the new stadium will look after da bears destroy the cardinals.
bears!
(ah vado, something we can agree upon.)
