DESCONSTRUCTIVISM
Deconstructivism, or Deconstruction, is an approach to
building design that attempts to view architecture in bits
and pieces. The basic elements of architecture are
dismantled. Deconstructivist buildings may seem to
have no visual logic. They may appear to be made up
of unrelated, disharmonious abstract forms.
Deconstructive ideas are borrowed from the French
philosopher Jacques Derrida.

Zaha Hadid’s Contemporary Arts Center, Cincinnati, Ohio Peter Eisenman’s Wexner Center for the Arts, Ohio
DESCONSTRUCTIVISM
1. Emphasizes the readability over legibility;
2. Destroys the dominance of the right angle and the cube by using the
diagonal line and the `slice' of space;
3. It has many layers of pictures and texts on top of each other and text
or illustrations which slide together;
4. Provokes shock, uncertainty, unease, disquiet, disruption, distortion

by challenging familiar ideas about space, order and regularity in the
environment;
5. Rejects the idea of the `perfect form' for a particular activity and rejects
the familiar relationship between certain forms and certain activities

2. Brutalist buildings usually are formed with

8. Volumes that project horizontally and vertically .

appearance, and the expression of its structural
materials, forms. 9. Walls and structure made of concrete with
rough concrete surfaces left exposed inside as
well as on the exterior.
4. The structure is typically heavy and unrefined

with coarsely molded surfaces .
10. Windows that are recessed; the use of glass is
minimized, especially at ground level.
