About article:
In our lecture, we focus on the terms figurative and figural as defined by Francois Lyotard and Gilles
Deleuze in his book on Francis Bacon. We examine these terms’ roles in Peter Eisenman’s architectural
thinking and design. Eisenman became interested in the reflection of Deleuze’s philosophy after he
collaborated with Jacques Derrida. There are various aspects of Deleuze’s influence on Eisenman to
be explored. The first utilizes Deleuze’s term fold. The second considers Eisenman’s version of a diagram
elaborated in dialogue with Deleuze’s term diagram. Moreover, finally, the third points towards
Deleuze’s terms mentioned above, figurative and figural and their role in Eisenman’s construction of
the term and project of the interstitial space. Our lecture traces Eisenman’s understanding of figurative
and figural and asks how interstitiality has become an argument in the problematization of both
heterogenous and affirmative aspects of architecture in critical architectural thinking.
