DECONSTRUCTIVISM
The modern architectural style, called “Deconstructivism,” is fundamentally different from the rest, since it completely breaks all architectural principles, including the geometry of structures and even specifically complicating it, disrupting the balance of labor intensity and expediency.
The deconstructivism style in architecture was created in the 80s, the author of the idea of this style was the French philosopher and writer Jacques Derrid, who believed that new principles could be introduced into architecture by introducing disharmony, fragmentation from now on to unpredictability.
Buildings made in the style of deconstructivism are partly similar to those in postmodernism, but unlike the latter, they do not have any fundamental architectural principles at all.
Thus, they are presented in the most sophisticated and incredible forms: the building can be up to the wrong shape, which can accommodate a lot of geometric lines, debris, etc. In addition, the building itself can be (and often is) skewed.
Deconstructivism in architecture is realized using a wide variety of building materials. Such buildings can be made of metal structures, and brick, concrete. It happens that there is a combination of those and other construction principles, for example, a load-bearing wall, is made of stone materials with a device of embedded materials, to which remote structures are mounted.
As for design, the deconstructivism style is very complex in design, since there are no blanks of it – typical projects, each project is individual and is designed “from scratch,” as they say.
The design process is very burdened by displaced centers of gravity, eccentricities passing through bearing vertical structures otherwise due to the conceived curvature, window openings of the most incredible shapes, and so on.
If you look at the facade of buildings in the style of deconstructivism, you can see such non-standard solutions as cropped corners, the presence of consolation of the upper floors, the presence of pseudo-stained glass windows, the so-called “intangible stained glass windows,” color design in the form of a superimposed grid of several colors.
As for the latter (color), there is a violation of basic academic principles, incompatible colors are combined, and often-densely there is a bright, sharp contrast of colors.
