About deconstructivism Started in the 1980’s and still going on today. Deconstructivism is an approach to building design that
attempts to view architecture in bits and pieces. Deconstructivist buildings may seem to have no visual
logic Ideas were borrowed from the French philosopher,
Jacques Derrida. Buildings may appear to be made up of abstract forms.

Contemporary art Two strains of modern
art, minimalisn and cubism , have had an influence on deconstructivism.
A synchronicity of disjoined space is evident in many of the works of Frank Gehry and Bernard Tschumi.

Gehry House Frank Gehry made this house at
Santa Monica, California in 1978.
It has a light wood frame and is an unnatural shape for a house.
Made up of lots of shapes that are different sizes.
It makes use of unconventional materials, such as chain link fence and corrugated steel.

Dancing house The very non-traditional design was
controversial at the time. Czech president ,Vaclav Havel who
lived for decades next to the site, had supported it, hoping that the building would become a center of cultural activity.
The “dancing” shape is supported by 99 concrete panels, each a different shape and dimension.
Windows of dancing structure.
