 DESCONSTRUCTIVISM

viernes 27 de enero de 12
 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.

1. Emphasizes the readability over legibility;

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
