Peter Eisenman, renowned for his controversial and influential body of work, looks at ten leading architects of the twentieth century and their theoretical positions, innovations, and design contributions.

With drawings, diagrams, and always-incisive text, he presents each architect's place in architectural history, and then offers detailed critical analysis of the project.
