From Formalism to Weak Form: The Architecture and Philosophy of Peter Eisenman

Biography

Stefano Corbo is an Italian architect and researcher at ETSAM Madrid (Escuela Técnica Superior de Arquitectura), where in 2010 he received a MArch II in Advanced Architectural Design; at the same Institute he is currently a PhD Candidate, with a dissertation entitled: 'Archaeology of Infrastructures: A conceptual cartography'. Stefano Corbo has worked as Assistant Professor at the Faculty of Architecture in Alghero, Italy, and lectured at the ETSAM, University of Miami, and University of Wisconsin. In 2012, after collaborating with Mecanoo Architects (Delft, Netherlands), he founded his own office: SCSTUDIO Architecture and Design (www.scstudio.eu ), a multidisciplinary network practicing architecture and design, preoccupied with intellectual, economical and cultural context. He has contributed to several journals (Mark, CIRCO, CLOG, Il Giornale dell’Architettura, Dichotomy, Studio Magazine, Tremors) and his projects have been published worldwide.

'Despite his significant impact on architecture through both built and theoretical works, most studies of Peter Eisenman's career focus on either one aspect or the other. In From Formalism to Weak Form: The Architecture and Philosophy of Peter Eisenman, Stefano Corbo attempts to redress this balance, connecting themes in the design and the theory of the influential architect across the many stages of his 50-year career.' arch daily
