75/ 118 [Architecture]. Eisenman, P. Houses of Cards. New York/ Oxf., OUP, 1987, 224p., richly illustrated, orig. cl. w. dustwr., 4to.

= An overview of the first six houses designed by Peter Eisenman (one of the NY Five). He called them "Houses of Cards". In these houses, Eisenman tried to strip architecture of its traditional meanings and associations, making the planes, walls, and elements of the houses as valueless as an arrangement of playing cards.
