Lateness: Toward a Definition -- Lateness in the Twentieth Century -- Adolf Loos -- Aldo Rossi -- John Hejduk --

Resumen: "Conceptions of modernity in architecture are often expressed in the idea of the zeitgeist, or "spirit of the age," an attitude toward architectural form that is embedded in a belief in progressive time. Lateness explores how architecture can work against these linear currents in startling and compelling ways. In this incisive book, internationally renowned architect Peter Eisenman, with Elisa Iturbe, proposes a different perspective on form and time in architecture, one that circumvents the temporal constraints on style that require it to be "of the times"--Lateness. He focuses on three twentieth-century architects who exhibited the qualities of lateness in their designs: Adolf Loos, Aldo Rossi, and John Hejduk. Drawing on the critical theory of Theodor Adorno and his study of Beethoven's final works, Eisenman shows how the architecture of these canonical figures was temporally out of sync with conventions and expectations, and how lateness can serve as a form of release from the restraints of the moment. Bringing together architecture, music, and philosophy, and drawing on illuminating examples from the Renaissance and Baroque periods, Lateness demonstrates how today's architecture can use the concept of lateness to break free of stylistic limitations, expand architecture's critical capacity, and provide a new mode of analysis"-- Provided by publisher

A provocative case for historical ambiguity in architecture by one of the field's leading theorists

Conceptions of modernity in architecture are often expressed in the idea of the zeitgeist, or "spirit of the age," an attitude toward architectural form that is embedded in a belief in progressive time. Lateness explores how architecture can work against these linear currents in startling and compelling ways. In this incisive book, internationally renowned architect Peter Eisenman, with Elisa Iturbe, proposes a different perspective on form and time in architecture, one that circumvents the temporal constraints on style that require it to be "of the times"âe"lateness. He focuses on three twentieth-century architects who exhibited the qualities of lateness in their designs: Adolf Loos, Aldo Rossi, and John Hejduk. Drawing on the critical theory of Theodor Adorno and his study of Beethoven's final works, Eisenman shows how the architecture of these canonical figures was temporally out of sync with conventions and expectations, and how lateness can serve as a form of release from the restraints of the moment.

Bringing together architecture, music, and philosophy, and drawing on illuminating examples from the Renaissance and Baroque periods, Lateness demonstrates how today's architecture can use the concept of lateness to break free of stylistic limitations, expand architecture's critical capacity, and provide a new mode of analysis.

CHOICE Review

Eisenman (visiting professor, Yale School of Architecture) is a prominent architect, theorist, and educator, and in this extended essay, written with Elisa Iturbe (Yale School of Architecture and Cooper Union), he proposes a new approach for critically reading 20th-century architecture--an approach that is also applicable to creative practice. Arguing that complexity rendered effortless by digital technologies requires practitioners to think anew about critical interrogation of architectural conventions, Eisenman adapts the concept of lateness from Theodor Adorno's study of Beethoven. In Eisenman's lateness, architectural conventions (arrangements of basic elements like doors and columns or building typologies like the palazzo) are removed from their historical contexts and configured into new relationships, leading to "timelessness." He applies this theory to three influential architects, Adolf Loos, Aldo Rossi, and John Hejduk, using full-page plans and architectural drawings to illustrate that lateness is not tied to an architect's personal style or a set of formal or aesthetic instructions. Although the use of commonly taught architects makes the study more accessible to undergraduates, the incorporation of less canonical architects could have pushed the theoretical applications into new spaces. Still, Lateness is an engaging entry into the current critical discourse around architectural design and criticism. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through faculty; professionals. --Sara E Schumacher, Texas Tech University
