Peter Eisenman “Post-Functionalism”Oppositions 6 (Fall 1976)\n\nThe Institute for Architecture and Urban Studies,an independent research,design,and educational corporation directed by Peter Eisenman,was founded in New York in1967.Oppositions,the Institute's primary organ,first appeared in September 1973and remained the single most important journal of architecture theory until 1982.Inissues 4,5,6,and 7 of the journal,each of its editors,Kenneth Frampton,MarioGandelsonas,Peter Eisenman,and Anthony Vidler,published an independent edito-rial that together marked out many of the major categories of architecture theory inthe 197os and 1980s.  \nFrampton's reading of the Heideggerian Raum as a place of pos-sible resistance to the techno-scientific and mass-cultural attacks on the fundamen-tally phenomenological aspect of architectural experience prompted his proposal fora dialectic of ends and means,of\"place\"and\"production,\"that already anticipatedhis later work.Gandelsonas's \"Neo-Functionalism”categorized dialectically,for thefirst time,the position epitomized by the work of Robert Venturi—“neorealism”-and that represented by Aldo Rossi,Peter Eisenman,and john Hejduk-“neorational-ism”-and identifhied modernist functionalism's underdeveloped concern with theproblem of meaning(“since function is itself one of the meanings that could be articu-lated by form”)as a possible third term.2Vidler's apologia for Rossi and the Tendenza,the \"third typology,\"identified its\"ontology of the city\"as a possible base for therestoration of a critical role to architecture.3 Eisenman,in his editorial reprinted heregathered up his preoccupations with structural linguistics,conceptual art,and avant-garde autotelic procedures,and characterized a“post-functionalist”position thatwould recognize architecture's epistemological status.  \n1 se 358-3601  \nI se 284-2861  \nAs its title suggests,Eisenman's essay enters into a mode ofthinking that Gregory Ulmer has called\"post-criticism,\"which is constituted primarilyby the application of certain devices of modernism (such as the direct incorporationof a formal fragment into a collage,or the aleatory process of montage)to criticalrepresentations.4 Rather than simply deriving its forms from functional needs,Eisen-man sees modernism as \"work on the language itself..…It fundamentally changedthe relationship between man and object away from an object whose primary purposewas to speak about man to one which was concerned with its own objecthood.”5 Aproperly modernist architecture should be not so much a subjective innovation (onthe model of the artist-as-genius)as a search for objective knowledge that lies out-side the artist,within the very materials and formal operations of architecture.Sucha research discovers the new in the given\"language,\"immanently,through an articu-lation and redistribution of its elements.Hence the importance of representation:thearchitectural object,on this view,is just a representation of architectural logic itself.  \nEisenman earlier called such a formal object-become-simula-  \ncrum-of-process \"cardboard architecture”:“Cardboard is used to shift the focus fromour existing conception of form in an aesthetic and fuctional context to a consider-ation of form as a marking or notational system.The use of cardboard attempts todistinguish an aspect of these forms which are designed to act as a signal or a mes-sage and at the same time the representation of them as a message.\"6 Further,he  \nasefag  \nSFcpiteisbithfufuNo
