From rear cover: "Chora L Works documents the unprecedented collaboration, initiated in 1985, between philosopher Jacques Derrida and architect Peter Eisenman on a project for the Parc de la Villette in Paris". The book contains discussion transcripts, candid correspondence, and essays, as well as sketches, presentation drawings, and models. Derrida and Eisenman's design process was guided by Plato's 'chora' text from the Timeaus; "their unique reciprocal relationship was an interchange - and transformation - of voices".
