Detailed Description
Deconstructivism is a movement of postmodern architecture that appeared in the 1980s. It is characterized by an absence of harmony, continuity, or order in the construction of buildings and other structures. The term “deconstruction” was first coined by French philosopher Jacques Derrida in the 1960s. Deconstructivism has its roots in the philosophy of Jacques Derrida, who argued that all meaning is derived from the structure of language, and that meaning is always deferred or postponed. This philosophy was later applied to architecture by Peter Eisenman, who sought to create buildings that would deconstruct themselves. Eisenman’s most famous project is the Wexner Center for the Arts, which was completed in 1989. The building is composed of two rectangular volumes that are rotated with respect to each other. This creates a sense of instability and disorientation. Other notable deconstructivist architects include Frank Gehry, Zaha Hadid, and Rem Koolhaas. Deconstructivist architecture has also been influenced by the work of Russian Constructivist architects such as Vladimir Tatlin and El Lissitzky.
