Deconstructivism

I discovered Deconstructivism whilst reading through a book for part of my essay I was writing. It immediatly captured my attention and I decided to research the architectural style in more depth.
Deconstructivism is a type of architectural style, which goes against all the rules of conventional architecture. Developed in late 1980’s, deconstructivism was started by a group of architects known as the deconstructivists.
     The deconstructivism style explains that a building is designed in different parts. The architecture appears to be done in random bits and pieces without any importances given to logic or architecture normalitites.
    The main focus is to change conventional rectilinear lines of a normal piece of architecture into non-rectilnear lines, therefore resulting in the external features of a building looking distorted.
     I love how the style goes against the rules of architecture, its very inspiring. This for me personally is architecture of the future, pushing the boundries, creating something very different.
    Below are some images of example of Deconstructive architecture.

 

      
This image is an artistic visual. The lines and colour captured my attention. It looks confusing but it is a very unique interesting presentation technique.
