CASE STUDY, CONCEPT .

The Wexner Center for the arts is Peter Eisenman’s first major public design. Eisenman, known for its modern architecture and also he’s architecture taste of deconstructive designed this building with large white metal grid which suggested scaffolding, in result giving the building a sense of incompleteness. The sidewalk in the Wexner Center designed with all these metal grids, creating a feeling that its not quite done.

This architecture strongly has the concept of deconstructionism. This implies to the external grids which symbolize a permanent scaffold to indicate that the Wexner Center is about ‘a building forever coming into being’. Other than that, the design of this building is a multi-faceted design which reflects a multi- program proposition. The space in the Wexner Center gives people a constantly fluctuating space. “ There is no static space, no repose” says Eisenman.
