I don't think the information regarding the University of Cincinnati Athletic Center is correct.

It was designed by Thom Mayne's Morphosis, not Tschumi.--129.137.150.140 04:08, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

No that is incorrect. The building mext to Mayne's building is indeed Tschumi's. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 192.203.136.253 (talk • contribs).

This article needs a "publications" section of some kind. Tschumi has written several books. -->

not a good entry
This article like the theory part is all written without footnotes and is highly interpretative. Under no circumstances should a reader assme that this is a neutral text. Reads like a graduate student paper.

for example Tschumi's critical understanding of architecture remains at the core of his practice today. By arguing that there is no space without event, he designs conditions for a reinvention of living, rather than repeating established aesthetic or symbolic conditions of design. Through these means architecture becomes a frame for "constructed situations," a notion informed by the theory, city mappings and urban designs of the Situationist International Sounds like it was written by someone in Tschumi's office.

Agreed. I go to Columbia College and I use Lerner Hall (which he designed) as little as possible because it's a poorly planned structure (or perhaps "over-planned" is the word). First of all, the ramps are positioned so as to increase the travel time as much as possible; second, some of the stairs in the back (which can be used to circumvent the ramps) don't go to every floor (because of the way they line up with the ramps). Third, there are errors in design which are simply amateurish: for instance, there is a large theater on the ground floor, with a balcony above it. The whole can be used as a theater or the upper portion can be walled off with a movie-screen that descends from the ceiling. Problem: it isn't sound-proof, so even though there are two theaters, the facility can only be used for one purpose at a time.

The main failing of the article is that it accepts the party line too faithfully. Tschumi is not a good architect, however high-minded may be his philosophical groundings. This article needs a "BIAS" tag. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Admiral meriweather (talk • contribs) 08:48, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
