beds in order to preserve the formal
integrity of the concept. This is obviously a somewhat indulgent piece of
planning, which later fell victim to the owners’ alterations, but the columns
that occurred in the middle of the dining area also suggested new patterns of
habitation. As Eisenman himself wrote, in House of Cards:
The
design process of this house, as with all the architectural work in this book,
intended to move the act of architecture from its complacent relationship with
the metaphysic of architecture, by reactivating its capacity to dislocate;
thereby extending the search into the possibilities of occupiable form.19
This
kind of questioning of the accumulated traditions enshrined in the institution
of dwelling is a theme that the philosopher Andrew

overlopping planes in an attempt to express
the drama of its function. While this seems to have caused some problems for
its originally intended users, it raises the whole question of the use of
architecture as a means of functional or historical critique. A more explicit
example of this kind of challenge to intended uses can be found in Peter
Eisenman’s early work in domestic architecture from the 1970s. The most famous
of these is probably the House VI or Frank House, built in Connecticut in 1973
and much written about since. The house is an extreme of architecture as an
autonomous language, with its own system of compositional devices based on
line, plane and volume. Like the architect’s other designs of this period, the
form is generated through a strategy of transformation, by subjecting an
initially simple volume to a series of distortions, rotations and omissions.
The most dramatic effect of this geometric discipline is the slot that appeared
in the middle of the master bedroom, forcing the clients to sleep in separate

under construction. Daniel Libeskind had
here designed a memorial, rather than a functioning museum in the traditional
sense, and it is unclear whether the installation of exhibits will add to or
detract from its effect. The powerful sense of loss and displacement which the
building’s empty spaces already invoke is a reminder that architecture’s
uniqueness can never be captured in a programme of requirements.
Another
building which transcended its original function, in the attainment of a
sculptural expression, was designed for the furniture company Vitra for its
campus-like headquarters in Germany. The building by Zaha Hadid which was
completed in 1994 began life as the site’s private fire station but eventually
became part of the company museum. The tension between rest and activity in the
movements of the building’s projected inhabitants produced a dynamic
