Peter Eisenman: Being Eisenman


Being Eisenman

This is a documentary showcasing Cornell Universities 50th reunion, inviting Peter Eisenman to talk about his experiences and lifestyle of an architect, it gives a very interesting account of the choices he made when he was younger and it goes to show with dedication and perseverance anything is possible.

Watching the documentary you get to see all of his nine colleagues/friends give a brief comment about their time together or what they remember of Peter Eisenman.

Well worth the watch if your looking to succeed with your own ambition; gives you that extra motivation.

God's answer to the digital age


Nicholas Negroponte

Anyone who wants to know more about the digital age and wants to enter a new world of technology then I suggest you watch this talk. 


It's so inspiring, it's a great credit to what can be achieved if we all work together. Who knows possibly the whole world will be able to connect as one.


We need more people like this man.

Frank Gehry's Landmark



Frank Gehry 

Where do we start with this amazing man, not only an architect; but a true genius of the art world. This documentary shows his qualities as a human being, he is with out a doubt also a very intelligent man, but ever so modest too.


Everyone interviewed during this documentary speaks highly of him, he is a true professional, he makes architecture look so simple, yet full of life. 

Finally I do believe the Guggenheim in Bilbao is most definitely a landmark of our time, watch the documentary and see what you think?
