内容提要：

本书最初作为彼得·艾森曼的博士论文于1963年完稿，于2006年首次发表（现已几近绝版）。这位美国著名建筑师在书中对建筑的形式进行了精湛的分析。正如艾森曼写道：“我想写一部分析研究的作品，结合所学，从帕拉迪奥到特拉尼，从拉斐尔到圭多·雷尼，深入考查一些与现代建筑相关联的理论结构，但要从某种形式自主性的观点出发。”

艾森曼以其于2005年设计建造的柏林大屠杀纪念碑而闻名于世。他通过理论与形式分析对抗历史主义，用大量精确绘制的图纸来证明他的观察。本书是艾森曼在剑桥大学时期的博士论文，于2006年由拉尔斯·穆勒出版社以复制的方式首次出版。2018年该出版社以稍小的开本重印了此书，足见其经久不衰的价值。

First published in 2006 (and now rare), and originally written as a dissertation in 1963, The Formal Basis of Modern Architecture is the acclaimed American architect Peter Eisenman's masterly formal analysis of architecture. "I wanted to write an analytic work that related what I had learned to see, from Palladio to Terragni, from Raphael to Guido Reni, into some theoretical construct that would bear on modern architecture, but from the point of view of a certain autonomy of form."

Here, Eisenman―world famous for his Holocaust Memorial in Berlin (2005)―confronts historicism with theory and the analysis of form, illustrating his observations with numerous precisely executed drawings. The Formal Basis of Modern Architecture was Eisenman's dissertation at the University of Cambridge, and was first published as a facsimile edition by Lars Müller Publishers in 2006; that edition is now reprinted in a smaller format.

Peter Eisenman (born 1932) is an internationally recognized architect and educator. Prior to establishing a full-time architectural practice in 1980, Eisenman worked as an independent architect, educator and theorist. In 1967, he founded the Institute for Architecture and Urban Studies (IAUS), an international think tank for architecture in New York, and served as its director until 1982. Eisenman is a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and the American Academy of Arts and Letters. Among other awards, in 2001 he received the Medal of Honor from the New York Chapter of the American Institute of Architects, and the Smithsonian Institution's 2001 Cooper-Hewitt National Design Award in Architecture. He was awarded the Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement at the 2004 Venice Architecture Biennale.
