2. About Deconstructive Architecture

• Started in the 1980s and is still going on today.

• Deconstructivism, or Deconstruction, is an approach to building design that attempts to view architecture in bits and pieces.

• Deconstructivist buildings may seem to have no visual logic.

• The ideas were borrowed from the French philosopher, Jacques Derrida.

• The buildings may appear to be made up of abstract forms.
