DECONSTRUCTIVISM
Deconstructivism in architecture, also called deconstruction, is a N development of
POST MODERNISM that began in the late 1980s. It is characterized by ideas of fragmentation, an interest in manipulating ideas of a structures surface or skin, non- rectilinear shapes which serve to distort and dislocate some of the elements of architecture, such as structure andThe finished visual appearance of buildings that exhibit the many deconstructivist "styles" is characterised by a stimulating unpredictability and a controlled chaos.
Deconstructivistphilosophy :It was influenced by the formal T experimentation and
geometric imbalances of Russian constructivism
CHARACTERISTICS OF DECONSTRUCTIVISM
Deconstructivist architecture is characterized by surface manipulation, fragmentation,
and non-rectilinear shapes which distort and dislocate architectural conventions concerning structure and envelope.
Explodes architectural form into loose collections of related fragments.
• Destroys the dominance of the right angle and the cube by using the diagonal line.
• Uses ideas and images from Russian Revolutionary architecture and design
• Provokes shock, uncertainty, unease, disquiet, disruption, distortion by challenging
familiar ideas about space, order and regularity in the environment.
• Rejects the idea of the `perfect form for a particular activity and rejects the familiar relationship between certain forms and certain activities.
Two strains of modern art, minimalism and cubism, have had an influence on deconstructivism.
• Analytical cubism also had effect on deconstructivism, as forms and content are dissected and viewed from different perspectives simultaneously.
• A synchronicity of disjoined space is evident in many of the works of Frank S Gehry
and BernardTschumi.
• It also often shares with
minimalism notions of conceptual art
ARCHITECTS WHO PRACTISED
DECONSTRUCTIVSM
ZAHA HADID
The unique combination of elements
that make up Zaha’s work can be seen in the Museum of Transport, Glasgow, now being constructed on the River Clyde in Scotland. Zaha’s mathematical expertise, her cosmopolitan upbringing, and most of all, her early inspiration from exploring the riverbanks of her native Iraq - all can be seen in this amazing building. Viewed from above, the impression of ripples in the I sand is suggestive. From ground level, transparent S walls will allow visitors to see inside the building as they approach - from land
DESIGN STYLE
Her style is Deconstructivism (breaking architecture, displacement and distortion,
leaving the vertical and the horizontal, using rotations on small, sharp angles, breaks up structures apparent chaos)Using light volumes, sharp, angular forms, the play of light and the integration of the buildings with the landscape. Integrated into their architectural designs using spiral forms. She is an architect known worldwide for her talent in various disciplines such as painting, graphic arts, three-dimensional models and computer I design.
Olympic Aquatics CentreWining the most
coveted architectural prize, Hadid was assigned to design London’s Olympic Aquatics Centre The Olympic Aquatics Centre, was constructed in London which the construction of this building tookplace in year of 2005 which will form part of London’s Olympic Park for a 2012 Olympic Games and Paralympic Games, has a spectacular, sinuous shaped roof inspired by the flow of Swater, that is certain to make it a MLondonlandmark

New production methods like CNC milling and thermoforming allow C computer generated designs to T be made into buildings structure. Parts of the building look like V cars, aeroplane wings, yachts. Large cantilevers and small touch I down areas give a floating S appearance to the shells. M Images courtesy of ZahaHadid
FRANK GEHRY
Frank Owen Gehry (born frank
owengoldberg; februaryo 28, 1929) is a canadianamerican architect. prize-winning architect n based in los angeles, california. frankgehry did very unique and challenging work in his life . mainly work in deconstructivism and hi-tech architecture. he is legendry architect because of his style of design and different phylosophy . t most of his project base on deconstructivism for eg. waltdisney u c concert hall , dancing house in Prague
Every building is by its very nature a sculpture. You cant help it. Sculpture is a three- dimensional object and so is a building.“I approach each building as a sculptural object, a spatial container, a space with light and air, a response to context and appropriateness of feeling and spirit. To this container, this sculpture, the user begins his baggage, his program, and interacts with it to accommodate his needs. If he can’t do that, I’ve failed.” S Frank.Gehry T In spite of changes in Gehry’s design over the years, his approach to a building as a sculpture retains. Gehry’s architecture has undergone a marked evolution from the plywood and corrugated-metal vernacular of his early works to the distorted but pristine concrete of his later works. However, the works retain a deconstructed aesthetic that fits well with the increasingly disjointed culture to which they belong. Most recently, Gehry has combined sensuous curving forms with complex deconstructive massing, achieving significant new results.
PETER EISENMAN
Peter Eisenman was born in Newark, New Jersey. He studied at Cornell and Columbia Universities .Eisenman first rose to prominence as a member of the New York Five. In 2001, Eisenman won the National Design Award for Architecture from T R the Cooper- Hewitt National Design Museum.STYLEEisenman has always sought somewhat obscure parallels between his architectural works and philosophical or literary theory. I His earlier houses were "generated" from a transformation of forms V related to the tenuous relationship of language to an underlying I structure. Eisenmans latter works show a sympathy with the ideas of S deconstructionism
He tries to do is to ‘unlink’ the function that architecture may represent E from the appearance - form - of that same architectural object.

Wexner Center for the Arts
Location : Ohio State
University,OhioBuilding Type
:University arts center.
Construction System :steel, concrete, glass. Included in the Wexner Center space are a film and video theater, a R performance space, a film and video post production studio, a T bookstore, café, and 12,000 square feet (1,100 m²) of galleries. The design includes a large, white metal grid meant to suggest scaffolding, to give the building a sense of incompleteness. The extension of the Columbus street grid generates a new pedestrian I path into the campus, a ramped east-west axis. a major part of the project is not a building itself, but a non-building.
