DECONSTRUCTIVISM ????????
Deconstruction is a development of POST MODERNISM
that began in the late 1980s.
DECONSTRUCTIVIST PHILOSOPHY : it was influenced
by the formal experimentation and geometric imbalance of
Russian constructivism.
There are additional references in deconstructivist to 20 th
century movements:modernism/postmodernism,
expressionism,cubism,minimalism and contemporary art.
DECONSTRUCTIVISM ????????
Explodes architectural form into loose collections
of related fragments.
Destroys the dominance of the right angle and the cube by
using the diagonal line.
Uses ideas and images from Russian Revolutionary
architecture and design.
Rejects the idea of the perfect form for a particular
activity and rejects the familiar relationship between
certain forms and certain activities.

Frank and Berta Gehry bought a pink bungalow that was originally
built in 1920. The original structure is the conventional two-storey
bungalow with framing. Some interior finishes have been stripped
to reveal the support of the structure inside the residence. The
bearing wall is raised inner and outer structural frames wooden
support beams, girders and joists.
ARCHITECTURAL STYLE
Much of Gehry's work falls within the style of
Deconstructivism, which is often referred to as
Post-structuralist in nature for its ability to go
beyond current modalities of structural
definition. This can be seen in Gehry's house in
Santa Monica
Gehrys style at times seems unfinished or even
crude, but his work is consistent . Gehry has
been called "the apostle of chain-link fencing
and corrugated metal siding"
Concept: Frank Gehry said "... I loved the idea of leaving the
house intact ... I came up with the idea of building a new home
about. We were told there were ghosts in the house ... I decided
they were ghosts of cubism. Windows ... I wanted to make them
look like they're dragging. At night, since the glass is tilted
reflect light ... So when you are sitting at this table all these cars
are passing by, you see the moon in the wrong place ... the moon is
there but it reflects here ... and you think it's there and do not
know where the hell are you ...
The architect explains: "... Armed
with very little money I decided to
build a new house around the old
and try to maintain a tension
between the two, making one define
the other, and making them feel
that the old house was intact within
the new, from the outside and from
the inside. These were the basic
objectives ... "
Structure: The building is built with loadbearing walls and ceilings, which have an internal
structure of metal rods that form grids with
triangles. The shapes of the museum could not
have succeeded if it did not use load-bearing
walls and ceilings. Catia(three dimensional
design software) determined the number of
bars required in each location, as well as the
bars positions and orientations. In addition to
this structure, the walls and ceilings have
several insulating layers and an outer coating of
titanium. Each piece is unique and exclusive to
the place, determined by Catia.
Materials: Built of limestone, glass and
titanium, the museum used 33,000 pieces of
titanium half a millimeter thick, each with a
unique form suited to its location. As these
pieces are so thin, a perfect fit to the curves is
necessary. The glass has a special treatment to
let in the sun's light, but not its heat.

PETER EISENMAN
INTRODUCTION
JACQUES DERRIDA
Founder of Deconstruction.
Peter Eiseman followed Derridas principles in
architecture.
Questions about the borders , the frontiers,the limits that
have been drawn.
Impossibility of setting up a perfect ideal structure. That
which cannot be presented for conception or perception.
SITE PLAN
Upon approaching the site, one might assume that the stelae are
evenly spaced but the undulating ground surface defeats the sense of a
grid, as does the actual experience of walking through the relatively
confined spaces and the existence of varying views framed and
obstructed by the stelae.
Eisenman relates this monument to a living memory rather than a
sentimental memory as the holocaust cannot be remembered in the
first, nostalgic mode, as its horror forever ruptured the link between
nostalgia and memory. Remembering the Holocaust can, therefore,
only be a living condition in which the past remains active in the
present.

He succeeded inbuilding a
structure that functioned both as
a house and a work of art, but
changing the priority of both so
that function followed the art.
He built a home where man was
forced to live in a work of art, a
sculpture, and according to the
clients who enjoyed inhabiting
Eisenmans artwork and poetry,
the house was very successful.

The building is a composition of bending oblong tubes,
overlapping, intersecting and piling over each other,
resembling a piece of massive transport infrastructure
It acts as a tie between the geometrical elements
already present.
It is built on the site of old army barracks between the
river
tiber . the centre is made up of spaces that flow freely
and unexpectedly between interior and exterior, where
walls twist to become floors or ceilings.
The building absorbs the landscape structures,
dynamizes them and gives them back to the urban
environment.

The building allows people to walk and climb down one part of the
pavement to get inside. In other places, the ground floor takes
visitors to a public square. Downstairs open broad prospects,
exposing the context of the city, between the concrete cones.

CONCLUSION:
BERNARD TSCHUMI
Bernard Tschumi is widely
recognized as one of todays
foremost architects. First known as
a theorist,
In the 1970s he taught at the
Architectural Association school in
London and during this period he
developed the strategy of
disjunctions, a theory based on his
belief that contemporary culture
and architecture were best
expressed by fragmentation as
opposed to the classical ideal of
unity.
