DECONSTRUCTIVISM
(Deconstruction is characterized by fragmentation , an interest in
manipulating a structures surface or skin non-rectilinear shapes which
appear to distort and dislocate elements of architecture, such as
structure and envelope. The finished visual appearance of buildings
that exhibit deconstructivist "styles" is characterized by unpredictability
and controlled chaos).

Fisher Center for the

Performing Arts

Frank Gehry chose brushed stainless steel for the exterior of

the Fisher Center so that the sculptural building would reflect
light and color from the pastural landscape. The unusual shape
of the Fisher Center grew out of the design for the two interior
theaters. Undulating stainless steel canopies project over the
box office and lobby. The canopies loosely drape over the sides
of the theaters, creating two tall, sky-lit gathering areas on each
side of the main lobby. The canopies also create a sculptural,
collar-like shape that rests on the concrete and plaster walls of
the two theaters.

The Treehouse

The structure had been designed like a tree house, generating a sense
of creative play featuring branches of research and academic spaces.
According to Gehry, the school structure has a trunk and core of activity
and branches for people to connect and do their private work. Working
groups would feel an intimacy with others working in their own tree house
while looking across the cracks to other tree houses.
The building will contain classrooms, research space, a 240-seat
auditorium, a caf, and car and bike parking. The building will provide
16,030 sqm of space, spread over 11 floors..
The building will have two distinct external facades, one composed of
undulating brick, referencing the sandstone and the dignity of Sydneys
urban brick heritage, and the other of large, angled sheets of glass to
fracture and mirror the image of surrounding buildings.
Its crinkly like that because the hardest thing to do in modern
architecture is to make it humane and give it a character, give it a feeling,
he said. Historically the great artists of our history have always been
fascinated with the fold. Michaelangelo did many drawings, Leonardo Da
Vinci did many drawings on that topic, and Ive been fascinated with that
topic.
