they are interpreted by the building’s users:

10 Aldo van Eyck – Orphanage, Amsterdam,
1957-60: Upper level plan. (Redrawn by the author, after Aldo van Eyck)
Due
to the repetition of its constructional elements and the strong aesthetic of
repeated units,, the scheme still retains the mass-produced quality of many of
the early modernist “industrialised” buildings. This problem has been addressed
by a former colleague of van Eyck, fellow Dutch architect Herman Hertzberger,
who was heavily influenced by structuralist thi

which echoes Saussure’s analysis of language as being fundamentally a system of
differences. In van Eyck’s case these differences were based on the qualities

There is a distant echo in Graves’ thinking

architecture, published in 1985, he claimed that many ideas in postmodernism
were actually implicit within modernism. On the issue of materiality, however,
this comparison appears tenuous, as the understanding of Graves’ work is
predominantly visual and intellectual – a consequence of the structuralist
principle of the “immateriality” of the s... more ...

9 Michael Graves – San Juan Capistrano
Library, California, 1982. (Neil Jackson)
The fact that building elements are
nameable objects, such as arch, column and floor meant that they were also
memorable to the building user as a way of establishing a sense of place.
Graves felt this quality had been lost in the abstractions of modernist geometries,
where points, lines and planes no longer allowed this kind of reading. The
shortcomings i
