Chora L Works: Jacques Derrida and Peter Eisenman

Chora L Works: Jacques Derrida and Peter Eisenman by Jacques Derrida. paperback edition. ISBN: 9781885254405.

Chora L Works documents the unprecedented collaboration, initiated in 1985, between philosopher Jacques Derrida and architect Peter Eisenman on a project for the Parc de la Villette in Paris. Woven into the volume are discussion transcripts, candid correspondence, and essays, as well as sketches, presentation drawings, and models. Derrida and Eisenmans design process was guided by Platos chora text from the Timeaus; their unique reciprocal relationship was an interchange - and transformation - of voices.
