 WHAT
an architectural movement or style influenced
by deconstruction that encourages radical
freedom of form and the open manifestation of
complexity in a building rather than strict
attention to functional concerns and
conventional design elements
 WHEN & WHERE
Deconstructivism is a movement of postmodern architecture which appeared in the 1980s.
Deconstructivism came to public notice with the 1982 Parc de la Villette architectural design
competition, as well as the Museum of Modern Art’s 1988 Deconstructivist Architecture
exhibition in New York, organized by Philip Johnson and Mark Wigley.
Other influential exhibitions include the 1989 opening of the Wexner Center for the Arts in
Columbus, designed by Peter Eisenman. Since their exhibitions, some architects associated
with Deconstructivism have distanced themselves from it. The term has stuck and has come to
embrace a general trend within Contemporary architecture.

serves, among other purposes, as the home of
the Los Angeles Philharmonic orchestra and
the Los Angeles Master Chorale. The project
was initiated in 1987, when Lillian Disney,
widow of Walt Disney, donated $50 million
and it was a tribute to Walt Disney's devotion
to the arts and to the city. Frank Gehry
delivered completed designs in 1991.

with its sail at full mast and the designer wanted to
create the feeling of square-foot Concert Hall having
2,265-seat auditorium with natural lighting in which
the audience surrounds the orchestra. The auditorium
has a curved wooden ceiling which fulfils the
acoustical requirements. The dramatically curved
exterior of Walt Disney Concert Hall is clad in 22
million pounds of primary steel joined out of 12,500
individual pieces that range from 13 inches to 110 feet
long. In addition, the abstracted floral patterned
carpet and upholstery were designed in tribute to
Lillian’s love of gardens and gardening. Folding and
unfolding of spaces with visual imbalance makes the
building interiors and exteriors fascinating.

and symmetry. The forms are external inspired by a boat with
sails drenched. The centerpiece of the interior of the building
was designed to represent the hull of a boat. The idea of the
architect was to design a room with an evocative sculptural
