    DECONSTRUCTIVISM: IT’S PARAMOUNTCY IN ARCHITECTURE

    Architecture and humanities fields such as ideology, psychology, and sociology have always had a strong
    relationship. Inventive and profound thought has always been a hallmark of architecture, regardless of the
    century in which it was born. The study of the philosophical current of "deconstruction" and its implications
    in architecture is the subject of this essay.
    This essay begins with annotating the basic principles of this philosophy, which dates back to Jacques
    Derrida's work. At first glance, deconstructivist projects and structures appeared disjointed and devoid of
    visual logic; nonetheless, they came together under the deconstruction philosophy's ideas and ideals. Certain
    restrictions have been imposed, including the Remarkable deconstructivist architects stressed one or two
    deconstruction themes and made them the guiding principles of their individual architectural styles.
    The essay continues with examples of structures constructed by Frank Gehry, Peter Eisenman, Bernard
    Tchumi, Daniel Libeskind, Rem Koolhaas, Zaha Hadid, and Coop Himmelblau, seven of the most well-
    known deconstructivist architects. This study continues to demonstrate that deconstructivism is more than
    just a trend; it also contains unique architectural elements known as Follis, which are used by numerous
    Deconstructivist architects in their Deconstructivist structures. The buildings would not receive perfect
    acceptance as Deconstructivism architecture without follis.
    Keywords: Deconstruction, Deconstructivism, Jacques Derrida, DE constructivist architects, Follis

    Objectives:

    • To explore deconstruction as a contemporary thought process in philosophy.


    • To investigate the influence or relevancy of literary deconstruction on contemporary ‘Deconstructivist’
    architectural practice

    Introduction

    Out of all new trends Deconstructivism was the only new trend that received great attention. Originally
    deconstructivism appeared in the areas of philosophy, language, and literature criticism m, lately moved to
    architecture. Deconstructivism architecture was mostly recognized before for its bizarre treatment of surfaces
    and the selection of shapes that don’t possess linear lines and from that don’t have even edges that give birth
    to buildings characterized by tremendous quantity and distorted architectural design elements.
    Deconstructivism Architecture is mainly a style which can easily be recognized as its exterior sharply
    noticeable. It is basically a critique that emerged in late1960’s. The term “Deconstruction” was used for the
    first time by the Jacques Derrida-the French philosopher in his book “De La Grammatologie”.
    Deconstruction is a complete set of new style architecture. It is the reaction of modernism, as opposition, the
    beginning of something you that marks the end of what was before. Deconstructivism broke the monotonous
    style of architecture.

    Deconstructivism in Architecture

    Deconstructivism is an ambiguous style where one has the possibility on interpreting an expression in two or
    more distinct ways. An idea of multiple meaning is more appealing than no meaning. With the beginning of
    deconstructivism, many architects were concerned with the theme of transgression, with pleasure and
    violence, with Eros and decay, with madness and chance, with field that go beyond the limit of a discursive
    sense.

    Characteristics of Deconstructivism

     Destroys the dominance of the right angles and the cube by using the diagonal line and the ‘slice’ of
    the space.
     Searches for more dynamic spatial possibilities.
     Provokes shock, uncertainty, unease and disquiet.
     Rejects the idea of ‘perfect form’ for a particular activity and rejects the recognizable communication
    between certain activities and form.
