There will be three stages to their work: Derrida’s interrupted essay on Plato, Eisenman’s reaction to Derrida’s essay, and a previous building design that Eisenman created in Venice which echoes the grid pattern of the Parc de la Villette. Derrida understands forms in a more practical way. It is outside description and language, outside the binary, and as such it must remain unrepresentable.

La deconstrucción es el término que, al igual que Jacques Derrida, Tschumi también evoca. Il parco de la Villette, realizzato anche in collaborazione con Derrida, rappresenta il manifesto programmatico della decostruzione architettonica, che vede l’architetto e il filosofo schierati l’uno affianco all’altro per definire le regole generali e i flussi generatori.

But this is not mere architectural discussion or theory; Derrida’s implicit and explicit discussions of space imply a particular textual and typographic practice that implicates works such as Glas, The Post Card, and The Truth in Painting not to mention Chora L Works itself.

Through the columns of Glas, framed by the borders of The Truth in Painting, the structural and literal holes of Chora L Works invite the consideration of the Derridean architextual practice – from the aesthetics of the textual space to the anesthetics of spatial text. Eisenman proposes to build a quarry from which visitors will pick up rocks and carry them to another part of the site.

Like chora, it will have no beginning. He wants to create spaces in which presence and absence work together equally, against a traditional hierarchy that equates “presence” with solidity and “absence” with void. He later says of the project: “I was resistant to architecture, while at the same time hoping, no doubt, to be more of an architect then Peter.”8 Eisenman admits to being slightly in awe of Derrida, excited by the theoretical process that he hopes will ultimately challenge traditional architectural forms.
