The style is significant with French philosophy (Jacques Derrida) aims to break up elements of any text into component parts in an effort to reveal meaning that is not apparent on the surface of its narratives. The application of this theory to design stretches the concept of what can be called a text to include any built reality.

In simple meaning, the building in this style often does not look like a building, but a piece of art or giant sculpture.
