Earlier this year Andres Duany, architect, writer, and spiritual leader of the New Urbanism, prepared a series of questions for Peter Eisenman. These provocative questions by Duany, along with Eisenman's replies, were supposed to appear in Constructs, the Yale School of Architecture periodical. According to Duany, "editor Nina Rappaport sent the interview to Eisenman and he sat on it for a long time, telling her that he was working on it before informing her that he would not participate."
