As the author of several emblematic projects (the Manhattan Transcript, 1976-81; the Parc de la Villette, 1983-95) and of several major books (Architecture and Disjunction, 1994; Event Cities (Praxis), 1994), Bernard Tschumi has left his mark on and informed the architectural debate over the past 15 years. He was associated in 1988 with the Deconstructivist Architecture, presented by Mark Wigley at the MoMA, and he focuses, above all, on a fruitful combination between architecture and contemporary philosophy (Jacques Derrida, Gilles Deleuze). Where this latter is concerned, he has, in particular, extended the line of thinking about space and cinematographic time, by applying it to architecture. Like that moving form represented by the cinema, Tschumi's architecture is basically again inscription; it only comes into being in the ephemeral, unstable and evolving moment of its encounter with the subject, and with the body or bodies in motion. In search of an architectural generation (and therefore expression) of "the event", Bernard Tschumi conceives of architecture merely as an extension of the social space in its continual changes.
