In order to achieve originality and beauty of forms, an architect has to distance the form currently taking shape from the ones already invented. But what if it comes to design a large edifice whose main aim is to be functional? However enormous the undertaking is, the etherealness and delicacy of its forms may still be preserved. This can be very well noticed in the two following Peter Eisenman's projects of stadiums. Eisenman succeeded in finding beauty, endangered within the rigid assumptions of functionality that are usually attributed to such buildings. The original architecture of a large edifice becomes architecture of etherealness in which the beauty hasn't been covered neither by the function and utilitarian features of the object, nor the ordinary observer's astonishment.
