Peter Eisenman explored disturbance in architecture, defining Post-Functionalism as the absence of functionalism and architecture as a theoretical object with its own meaning. His work challenges conventional ideas of form and function, creating spaces that provoke thought rather than comfort. This paper compares Eisenman’s ideas with Bernard Tschumi’s Violence of Architecture and the Reversible Destiny Lofts in Tokyo, asking whether it is acceptable to prioritize concept over function in architectural design.
