The document discusses the architectural style of deconstructionism, which originated in the 1980s and was influenced by philosopher Jacques Derrida's theory of deconstruction. Key characteristics of deconstructionist architecture include manipulating and recombining basic building volumes into fragmented and irregular shapes through techniques like layering and angular geometries. The style rejects notions of purity of form and absolute truths in architecture promoted by modernism.

ARCHITECTURE
ABSTRACT “When we deconstruct anything, we simply do not destroy, dissolve or cancel the legitimacy of what we will be constructing”. -Jacques Derrida-
INDEX 1 2 3 4 5 • INTRODUCTION • PHILOSOPHY • HISTORICAL BACKGROUND • DESIGN CHARACTERISTICS • CRITIQUES
INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTION PHILOSOPHY HISTORICAL BACKGROUND CHARACTERISTICS CRITIQUES
INTRODUCTION - What?  It is an architectural movement that began in the early 1980s.  It is influenced by the theory of "Deconstruction".  It is characterized by fragmentation, and interest in manipulating a structure's surface or skin through transform the basic Volumes of architecture (Cube, Cuboid, Pyramid & sphere) in order to recombine it in a new hybrid shapes. Fragmentation Basic Shape INTRODUCTION PHILOSOPHY Recombining Transformation HISTORICAL BACKGROUND CHARACTERISTICS CRITIQUES
INTRODUCTION - Why?  Deconstructivism rejected the postmodern acceptance of the historical references, as well as the idea of ornament as an after-thought or decoration. Postmodern Modern INTRODUCTION PHILOSOPHY Deconstruction HISTORICAL BACKGROUND CHARACTERISTICS CRITIQUES
INTRODUCTION - Goals  Deconstructivism attempts to move away from the supposedly constricting 'rules' of modernism such as: form follows function INTRODUCTION PHILOSOPHY Purity of form HISTORICAL BACKGROUND CHARACTERISTICS Truth to materials CRITIQUES
HISTORICAL BACKGROUND INTRODUCTION PHILOSOPHY HISTORICAL BACKGROUND CHARACTERISTICS CRITIQUES
HISTORICAL BACKGROUND  Deconstructivism came to public notice with the 1982 Parc de la Villette architectural design competition.  (especially the entry from Jacques Derrida and Peter Eisenman and Bernard Tschumi's winning entry). INTRODUCTION PHILOSOPHY HISTORICAL BACKGROUND CHARACTERISTICS CRITIQUES
HISTORICAL BACKGROUND  The Museum of Modern Art’s (MoMA) 1988 Deconstructivist Architecture exhibition in New York, organized by Philip Johnson and Mark Wigley. Philip Johnson Mark Wigley INTRODUCTION PHILOSOPHY HISTORICAL BACKGROUND CHARACTERISTICS CRITIQUES
HISTORICAL BACKGROUND  and the 1989 opening of the Wexner Center for the Arts in Columbus, designed by Peter Eisenman. INTRODUCTION PHILOSOPHY HISTORICAL BACKGROUND CHARACTERISTICS CRITIQUES
HISTORICAL BACKGROUND  The New York exhibition featured works by Frank Gehry, Daniel Libeskind, Rem Koolhaas, Peter Eisenman, Zaha Hadid, Coop Himmelb(l)au, and Bernard Tschumi. INTRODUCTION PHILOSOPHY HISTORICAL BACKGROUND CHARACTERISTICS CRITIQUES
HISTORICAL BACKGROUND  Since the exhibition, some architects associated with Deconstructivism have distanced themselves from it.  Nonetheless, the term has stuck and has come to embrace a general trend within contemporary architecture. INTRODUCTION PHILOSOPHY HISTORICAL BACKGROUND CHARACTERISTICS CRITIQUES
PHILOSOPHY INTRODUCTION PHILOSOPHY HISTORICAL BACKGROUND CHARACTERISTICS CRITIQUES
PHILOSOPHY  Deconstruction is a literary theory and philosophy of language derived principally from Jacques Derrida's 1967 work Of Grammatology. INTRODUCTION PHILOSOPHY HISTORICAL BACKGROUND CHARACTERISTICS CRITIQUES
PHILOSOPHY  the clearest explanation on Derrida’s thinking, which I also found to be notoriously difficult. it’s fundamental to Derrida’s extraordinary view of the world that nothing has much meaning anyway.  That’s why he struggles so hard not to communicate with us; he actually intends it to be difficult for us to find out what he says, if he has anything to say at all!  Many attempts to explain or to analyze Deconstruction have been violently rebutted on the grounds that such approaches violate the very nature of Deconstruction.  Its proponents insist that "it cannot be described and stated as other positions can" because it is a new form of logic that has superseded the old traditional logic in which such analyses are couched. INTRODUCTION PHILOSOPHY HISTORICAL BACKGROUND CHARACTERISTICS CRITIQUES Analyze Describe
PHILOSOPHY  Derrida tends to work not so much by initiating ideas as by reacting, forcibly, to what others have written already.  In each case Derrida aims to refute thinkers with arguments derived from the author’s own writings, to demonstrate -successfully in many cases- that the very premises on which the authors base their cases will, if pursued to their logical conclusions, defeat the original arguments.  Deconstruction, after all, is literally concerned -as Derrida insists- with written texts. His attacks are especially focused on subjects such as: Subjects 1. Metaphysics INTRODUCTION 2. Clarity 3. Logocentrism PHILOSOPHY 4. Meaning HISTORICAL BACKGROUND 5. Feelings CHARACTERISTICS 6. Binary Thinking CRITIQUES 7. Phonocentrism 8. Palimpsest
PHILOSOPHY  Metaphysics is the age-old search for “truth” and the “essence of being” that has been the center of occidental Philosophy.  INTRODUCTION PHILOSOPHY Derrida despises this search through the centuries for the ultimate truth, for the reason of our existence & the idea that there should be some kind of "absolute knowledge", "prime mover" or "God". HISTORICAL BACKGROUND CHARACTERISTICS CRITIQUES
PHILOSOPHY  This is relevant to architecture in that, for Derrida, there is no "one best way", no "International Style", no roots from which all architecture has grown. So there are no received truths Classical, Modernist or other. Absolutes in Architecture Absolute knowledge INTRODUCTION PHILOSOPHY HISTORICAL BACKGROUND CHARACTERISTICS CRITIQUES
PHILOSOPHY  To "deconstruct" at all -program, form or structure- is to demonstrate one's view that there are no absolutes in architecture, that attempts, such as Heidegger's (in philosophy) or Le Corbusier’s, Wright’s and others (in architecture) to find such absolutes are doomed to failure. INTRODUCTION PHILOSOPHY HISTORICAL BACKGROUND Church of the year 2000, Rome by Eisenman. (Deconstruction itself rejects the existence of God) CHARACTERISTICS CRITIQUES
PHILOSOPHY  Clarity in Structuralist predecessors is to write simply, directly, clearly and unambiguously,  INTRODUCTION PHILOSOPHY Derrida is part of the Post-Structurlist movement that strongly reacted against the clarity. HISTORICAL BACKGROUND CHARACTERISTICS CRITIQUES
PHILOSOPHY Ambiguous INTRODUCTION PHILOSOPHY HISTORICAL BACKGROUND CHARACTERISTICS CRITIQUES
PHILOSOPHY   “It is my evident desire to insinuate my thoughts into your brain, and thus ‘colonize’ your mind! That is why they write deliberately in such an unclear, diffuse, incoherent and ambiguous way that will get you so angry that, in your struggle to understand, you will be forced into having your own thoughts.” -Broadbent-. Deconstructivist architecture is ambiguous as a Deconstructivist text, whereas clarity is what we see when analyzing Modern architecture, simplicity in its structure, coherence in its programme. INTRODUCTION PHILOSOPHY HISTORICAL BACKGROUND CHARACTERISTICS CRITIQUES Diffuse incoherent Ambiguous Struggle to Understand Give up Accept as it is
PHILOSOPHY  Robert Venturi, an exponent of Post-Modernism, had demonstrated a parallel kind of thinking in architecture when in "Complexity and Contradiction" (1966) he attacked "Modernist transparency". INTRODUCTION PHILOSOPHY HISTORICAL BACKGROUND Outside of a building should not be molded according to its inside logic CHARACTERISTICS CRITIQUES
PHILOSOPHY  INTRODUCTION PHILOSOPHY Logocentrism: analyzing the structure of our language -in believe that language is what allows us to think- to unveil the structure of our thoughts and thus arrive at those "ultimate truths". HISTORICAL BACKGROUND CHARACTERISTICS CRITIQUES
PHILOSOPHY  Derrida despises Logocentrism and even rejects any relationship between a word and its meaning. That is why he uses words in any way he pleases, and makes it so difficult for us to understand him.  He wants words (and presumably buildings) to literally have no single meaning. INTRODUCTION PHILOSOPHY HISTORICAL BACKGROUND CHARACTERISTICS CRITIQUES
PHILOSOPHY  He sees Deconstruction as our attempt to recover from the Tower of Babel! “The builders of the Tower sought political domination by imposing on the world their universal language and their universal architecture, exactly as Modern Architecture. Tower of Babel INTRODUCTION PHILOSOPHY HISTORICAL BACKGROUND CHARACTERISTICS CRITIQUES
PHILOSOPHY  According to Derrida, our aim should not have been to find another "only absolute" view but to seek a diversity of views.” This is a view clearly contrary to that of Modernism. Some architects took literally the notion of no single meaning and tried to create buildings with no meaning at all, organized according to pure geometric rules that would convey no meaning. INTRODUCTION PHILOSOPHY HISTORICAL BACKGROUND CHARACTERISTICS CRITIQUES
PHILOSOPHY  INTRODUCTION PHILOSOPHY Meaning: “Syntagmatic / Associative” ,“Signifier / Signified” Saussure, like many others before him, tended to think in pairs, or "binary oppositions". HISTORICAL BACKGROUND CHARACTERISTICS CRITIQUES
PHILOSOPHY  The denial of meaning from Derrida was taken by Deconstructivist architects and translated as an architecture of pure "syntax" without any "semantic" meaning.  Eisenman's aim when designing most of his early buildings was this, he used extremely pure, geometric "syntaxes" with no semantic references of the kind we loosely call "meaning". Semantic architecture INTRODUCTION PHILOSOPHY HISTORICAL BACKGROUND CHARACTERISTICS CRITIQUES
PHILOSOPHY  INTRODUCTION PHILOSOPHY Peter Eisenman says: "People have been concerned with relating themselves to their physical environment as a source of security. I believe that if the physical environment makes them anxious they might turn inward and the true source of security is internal. The physical environment can never provide that, it can provide physical comfort, shelter, but it can never provide psychological shelter." HISTORICAL BACKGROUND CHARACTERISTICS CRITIQUES
PHILOSOPHY  When it comes to Eisenman buildings, he creates a really disturbing spacing completely dislocated and every time you don't know where you are, or at what level you are, you never know.  For Heinrich Klotz, Deconstruction is "an indication of how we perceive our lives today and a good part of it is the uncertainty we feel". Eisenman is concerned in causing an uncertainty in people INTRODUCTION PHILOSOPHY HISTORICAL BACKGROUND CHARACTERISTICS CRITIQUES

  • 15. PHILOSOPHY  Deconstruction is a literary theory and philosophy of language derived principally from Jacques Derrida's 1967 work Of Grammatology. INTRODUCTION PHILOSOPHY HISTORICAL BACKGROUND CHARACTERISTICS CRITIQUES
  • 16. PHILOSOPHY  the clearest explanation on Derrida’s thinking, which I also found to be notoriously difficult. it’s fundamental to Derrida’s extraordinary view of the world that nothing has much meaning anyway.  That’s why he struggles so hard not to communicate with us; he actually intends it to be difficult for us to find out what he says, if he has anything to say at all!  Many attempts to explain or to analyze Deconstruction have been violently rebutted on the grounds that such approaches violate the very nature of Deconstruction.  Its proponents insist that "it cannot be described and stated as other positions can" because it is a new form of logic that has superseded the old traditional logic in which such analyses are couched. INTRODUCTION PHILOSOPHY HISTORICAL BACKGROUND CHARACTERISTICS CRITIQUES Analyze Describe
  • 17. PHILOSOPHY  Derrida tends to work not so much by initiating ideas as by reacting, forcibly, to what others have written already.  In each case Derrida aims to refute thinkers with arguments derived from the author’s own writings, to demonstrate -successfully in many cases- that the very premises on which the authors base their cases will, if pursued to their logical conclusions, defeat the original arguments.  Deconstruction, after all, is literally concerned -as Derrida insists- with written texts. His attacks are especially focused on subjects such as: Subjects 1. Metaphysics INTRODUCTION 2. Clarity 3. Logocentrism PHILOSOPHY 4. Meaning HISTORICAL BACKGROUND 5. Feelings CHARACTERISTICS 6. Binary Thinking CRITIQUES 7. Phonocentrism 8. Palimpsest
  • 18. PHILOSOPHY  Metaphysics is the age-old search for “truth” and the “essence of being” that has been the center of occidental Philosophy.  INTRODUCTION PHILOSOPHY Derrida despises this search through the centuries for the ultimate truth, for the reason of our existence & the idea that there should be some kind of "absolute knowledge", "prime mover" or "God". HISTORICAL BACKGROUND CHARACTERISTICS CRITIQUES
  • 19. PHILOSOPHY  This is relevant to architecture in that, for Derrida, there is no "one best way", no "International Style", no roots from which all architecture has grown. So there are no received truths Classical, Modernist or other. Absolutes in Architecture Absolute knowledge INTRODUCTION PHILOSOPHY HISTORICAL BACKGROUND CHARACTERISTICS CRITIQUES
  • 20. PHILOSOPHY  To "deconstruct" at all -program, form or structure- is to demonstrate one's view that there are no absolutes in architecture, that attempts, such as Heidegger's (in philosophy) or Le Corbusier’s, Wright’s and others (in architecture) to find such absolutes are doomed to failure. INTRODUCTION PHILOSOPHY HISTORICAL BACKGROUND Church of the year 2000, Rome by Eisenman. (Deconstruction itself rejects the existence of God) CHARACTERISTICS CRITIQUES
  • 21. PHILOSOPHY  Clarity in Structuralist predecessors is to write simply, directly, clearly and unambiguously,  INTRODUCTION PHILOSOPHY Derrida is part of the Post-Structurlist movement that strongly reacted against the clarity. HISTORICAL BACKGROUND CHARACTERISTICS CRITIQUES
  • 23. PHILOSOPHY   “It is my evident desire to insinuate my thoughts into your brain, and thus ‘colonize’ your mind! That is why they write deliberately in such an unclear, diffuse, incoherent and ambiguous way that will get you so angry that, in your struggle to understand, you will be forced into having your own thoughts.” -Broadbent-. Deconstructivist architecture is ambiguous as a Deconstructivist text, whereas clarity is what we see when analyzing Modern architecture, simplicity in its structure, coherence in its programme.

  • 24. PHILOSOPHY  Robert Venturi, an exponent of Post-Modernism, had demonstrated a parallel kind of thinking in architecture when in "Complexity and Contradiction" (1966) he attacked "Modernist transparency". INTRODUCTION PHILOSOPHY HISTORICAL BACKGROUND Outside of a building should not be molded according to its inside logic CHARACTERISTICS CRITIQUES
  • 25. PHILOSOPHY  INTRODUCTION PHILOSOPHY Logocentrism: analyzing the structure of our language -in believe that language is what allows us to think- to unveil the structure of our thoughts and thus arrive at those "ultimate truths". HISTORICAL BACKGROUND CHARACTERISTICS CRITIQUES
  • 26. PHILOSOPHY  Derrida despises Logocentrism and even rejects any relationship between a word and its meaning. That is why he uses words in any way he pleases, and makes it so difficult for us to understand him.  He wants words (and presumably buildings) to literally have no single meaning. INTRODUCTION PHILOSOPHY HISTORICAL BACKGROUND CHARACTERISTICS CRITIQUES
  • 27. PHILOSOPHY  He sees Deconstruction as our attempt to recover from the Tower of Babel! “The builders of the Tower sought political domination by imposing on the world their universal language and their universal architecture, exactly as Modern Architecture. Tower of Babel INTRODUCTION PHILOSOPHY HISTORICAL BACKGROUND CHARACTERISTICS CRITIQUES
  • 28. PHILOSOPHY  According to Derrida, our aim should not have been to find another "only absolute" view but to seek a diversity of views.” This is a view clearly contrary to that of Modernism. Some architects took literally the notion of no single meaning and tried to create buildings with no meaning at all, organized according to pure geometric rules that would convey no meaning. INTRODUCTION PHILOSOPHY HISTORICAL BACKGROUND CHARACTERISTICS CRITIQUES
  • 29. PHILOSOPHY  INTRODUCTION PHILOSOPHY Meaning: “Syntagmatic / Associative” ,“Signifier / Signified” Saussure, like many others before him, tended to think in pairs, or "binary oppositions". HISTORICAL BACKGROUND CHARACTERISTICS CRITIQUES
  • 30. PHILOSOPHY  The denial of meaning from Derrida was taken by Deconstructivist architects and translated as an architecture of pure "syntax" without any "semantic" meaning.  Eisenman's aim when designing most of his early buildings was this, he used extremely pure, geometric "syntaxes" with no semantic references of the kind we loosely call "meaning". Semantic architecture INTRODUCTION PHILOSOPHY HISTORICAL BACKGROUND CHARACTERISTICS CRITIQUES
  • 31. PHILOSOPHY  INTRODUCTION PHILOSOPHY Peter Eisenman says: "People have been concerned with relating themselves to their physical environment as a source of security. I believe that if the physical environment makes them anxious they might turn inward and the true source of security is internal. The physical environment can never provide that, it can provide physical comfort, shelter, but it can never provide psychological shelter." HISTORICAL BACKGROUND CHARACTERISTICS CRITIQUES
  • 32. PHILOSOPHY  When it comes to Eisenman buildings, he creates a really disturbing spacing completely dislocated and every time you don't know where you are, or at what level you are, you never know.  For Heinrich Klotz, Deconstruction is "an indication of how we perceive our lives today and a good part of it is the uncertainty we feel". Eisenman is concerned in causing an uncertainty in people INTRODUCTION PHILOSOPHY HISTORICAL BACKGROUND CHARACTERISTICS CRITIQUES
