Bernard Tschumi • one of today’s foremost architects • theoretical and practical architect • associated with deconstructivism • no architecture without events, actions or activity • form follows fiction photo is taken by http: //www. tschumi. com

The Manhattan Transcript • neither real projects nor mere fantasies • complex relationship – – between space and their use between the set and the script between type and program between object and events • disjunctions among use, form and social values – hence, the drawings make use of the tripartite mode of notion developed earlier in order to introduce time and experience into the reading of architecture of the city.

The Manhattan Transcript • three dis-joined levels of reality – the world of objects • made up of buildings that are abstracted from maps, plans and photographs – the world of movements • taken from choreography, sports or movement diagrams – the world of events • derived from news photography. photo is taken by http: //emperors. kucjica. org/event-and-movement-in-architecture/
