Abstract (300 words maximum)
In this paper, I am going to be looking at the architectural styles of Peter Eisenman and Peter Cook. I'm going to research and discuss the architectural styles that both architects used and figure out why they designed in that style. I'm also gonna be looking at their designs in their times to see how they influenced design going forward and were influential for the times they were built. When looking at Peter Eisenman he was an American architect who was part of the New York Five and even though it was like is known for his designs in modern architecture. He also designed with deconstructivism from time to time and seemed to love designing buildings with less-than-ordinary shapes. Peter Cook is an English architect who in his own words described his own architecture as lyrical tactical mechanical and even slightly gothic. Also, Peter Cook was the founder of Archigram which is a British architectural group that was designed in the avant-garde style they were also very influential in the 1960s. Having this baseline of these architects I'm going to be looking at buildings from each of them and discussing the designs of the buildings and even comparing a few of the buildings from each architect to each other
