What is "Deconstructivism"?
Deconstructivism is an architectural style that breaks away from traditional design, focusing on irregular shapes, fragmented forms, and a sense of unpredictability. It avoids clean lines and harmony, creating structures that may seem disordered or chaotic. The idea is to challenge conventional ideas of balance and symmetry, giving buildings a more dynamic and unusual appearance. Deconstructivist architecture often seems to be in motion, with parts of the structure appearing to be disconnected or incomplete, yet still functioning as a unified whole.
