DECONSTRUCTIVISM
Deconstructivism originated in the 1980s and questions the precepts and
process of design and incorporates nonlinear dynamics to the field’s
reasoning. Deconstructivism relates to two main concepts: deconstruction, a
literary and philosophical analysis that rethinks and dismantles traditional modes
of thinking; and constructivism, the artistic and architectonical Russian
movement from the early 20th century. A landmark event
for Deconstructivism was the 1988 MoMA exhibition curated by Phillip Johnson.
It brought together the works of Peter Eisenman, Frank Gehry, Zaha Hadid, Rem
Koolhaas, Daniel Libeskind, Bernard Tschumi and Wolf Prix.
