Since this week of the seminar of architectural reflection, the author is very fascinated about the idea of "Timelessness" by Peter Eisenman.
From the beginning of the study of architecture, the author is already wondering why should we read so much about the history of architecture, in provision that we have already known some general idea of the architectural history. For a designing practice, the author thinks that the designers should look more towards the future rather than having reference or representation from the factual past.
As the author is not a good architectural student, only when he forced to read the article he knows what Peter Eisenman does and his architectural style. The author feels that the way he thoughts, although is not coherence, has some similarity with Peter Eisenman.
His prompt idea is "timelessness". Although the author is not really understanding the true meaning behind this word, he could understand that we should develop our own architectural style without refer or represent any style that is existed already. A non-representational figuration of the object should be presented.
The author then searched about his favourite work by Peter Eisenmen - City of culture of Galicia in Spain. He literally extracted the geometry of the city grid of the town and overlaid onto the plan of the building cluster. This is the act of transforming the geometry into a form, yet it is inspired by the old city of Santiago and five pilgrim routes. So would it be the paradigm of the argument he raised?
