Deconstructivism in architecture


Deconstructivism in architecture, also called Deconstruction, is a development in Postmodern architecture beginning in the late 1980s. It is characterised by ideas of fragmentation, non-linear processes of design, an interest in manipulating ideas of a structure's surface or skin, and apparent non-Euclidean geometry, which serve to distort and dislocate some of the elements of architecture, such as structure and envelope. The final visual appearance of buildings that exhibit the myriad deconstructivist "styles" are characterized by a stimulating unpredictability and a controlled chaos.

Important events in the history of the deconstructivist approach include the 1982 Parc de la Villette Competition, Paris; the 1988 Museum of Modern Art Deconstructivist architecture show organized by Philip Johnson and Mark Wigley in New York; and the 1989 opening of the Wexner Center for the Arts, Columbus, Ohio, designed by Peter Eisenman.

Some of the architects involved have been influenced by the writings of the French philosopher Jacques Derrida and his ideas on Deconstruction; others have been influenced by the idea of reiterating the geometric imbalances of the Russian Constructivist movement. In addition to constructivism there are also similarities in deconstructivism to other art and architectural movements such as modernism, postmodernism, cubism, expressionism, minimalism and contemporary art. The attempt of deconstructivism throughout, is to move architecture away from what they see as the constricting 'rules' of modernism such as "form follows function", purity of form, truth to materials, and expression of structure.

Deconstructivism is a movement in contemporary architecture that primarily counters the ordered rationality of modernism. Its relationship with postmodernism is also decidedly contrary. Though postmodernist and nascent deconstructivist architects published theories alongside each other in the journal Oppositions (published 1973-84), this journal's contents mark the beginning of a decisive break between the two movements. Deconstruction took a confrontational stance toward much of architecture and architectural history, wanting to disjoin and disassemble architecture. While postmodernism returned to embrace—often slyly or ironically—the historical trappings that modernism had shunned, deconstructivism rejects the postmodern acceptance of eclectic historical references and ornament. This rejection aligns it somewhat with the anti-historicism of many modern works, and is a part of its definition as a new movement.

In addition to Oppositions, another text that separates deconstructivism from the fray of modernism and postmodernism is Robert Venturi's Complexity and Contradiction in architecture (1966). A defining point for both postmodernism and for deconstructivism, Complexity and Contradiction argues against the purity, clarity and simplicity of modernism. With its publication, functionalism and rationalism, the two main branches of modernism, were overturned as paradigms according to postmoderist and deconstructivist readings, with differing readings. The postmodern reading was that ornament and historical allusion added a richness to architecture that modernism had foregone. Postmodern architects endeavored to reapply ornaments to economical and minimal buildings, an effort best illustrated by Venturi's concept of "the decorated shed". Rationalism of design was dismissed but the functionalism of the building was still somewhat intact. This is close to the thesis of Venturi's next major work, Learning From Las Vegas, that signs and ornament can be applied to a pragmatic architecture, and instill the philosophic complexities of semiology.

The deconstructivist reading of Complexity and Contradiction is quite different. The basic building was the subject of problematics and intricacies in deconstructivism, with no detachment for ornament. The functional aspects of buildings were called into question. Geometry was to deconstructivists what ornament was to postmodernists, and modernism was altered as a result.
