Petit, Emmanuel

Mr. Petit’s work focuses on architecture’s diverse epistemological models since the mid-sixties, and more specifically on the intersection of architectural theory with philosophy, literary theory, and poetry. His essays on formalism, criticism, virtuality, and architectural body metaphors appeared in Log (ANY Corporation), Thesis (Bauhaus), Trans (ETH), Thresholds (MIT), Perspecta, and Constructs (Yale). From 1999 to 2004, he assisted Peter Eisenman in advanced studio teaching at Princeton University and at Yale. He was co-curator for Peter Eisenman’s exhibition “Barefoot on White-Hot Walls” at the Museum for Applied Art in Vienna.
