Book excerpt: This profile presents the intense controversy between the fundamentally conflicting ideologies of Reconstruction and Deconstruction. Leon Krier and Peter Eisenman debate such issues as the inexorable force of history, the question of universal values and the notions of presentness, tradition, modernity and change. For the Deconstructionists, there are projects by: Peter Eisenman; Hiromi Fujii; Bernard Tschumi; Rem Koolhaas-OMA; Gigantes and Zenghelis; and Arquitectonica. For the Reconstructionists, there are essays by Demetri Porphyrios; Allan Greenberg; Andres Duany and Elizabeth Plater-Zyberk; and Charles Shoup. The project for the reconstruction of the Acropolis monuments is also included.
