In January 2006 Peter Eisenman joined Rem Koolhaas at the Architectural
Association for an evening of conversation about architecture,
ideology, and the city. Their dialogue forms the basis for the first
volume of AA Words, a series emphasizing the written word as the basis
for critical debate by contemporary architects and theorists. Each
architect states his views about the terms of architecture, including
its theories and relationship to the city and other forms of critical
and cultural practice. As a coda to the conversation, the book includes
contributions by Jeffrey Kipnis, Robert E. Somol, and Brett Steele, who
offer their personal interpretations of the critical practices of
Eisenman and Koolhaas.
