Deconstructivism

Deconstructivism is a postmodern architectural movement that emerged in the 1980s. Characterized by the fragmentation of constructed buildings, the style often eschews traditional harmony, continuity, and symmetry. The term combines Constructivism with the semiotic analysis of Jacques Derrida, and is associated with architects such as Zaha Hadid, Peter Eisenman, Frank Gehry, Rem Koolhaas, Daniel Libeskind, Bernard Tschumi, and Coop Himmelb(l)au.
