Deconstructivism is an artistic movement that started in architecture by the end of the 1980s. It criticizes the rational order, purity, and simplicity of modern design and developed a new aesthetic based on complex geometries. It’s often considered a current of postmodernism. It is characterized by its lack of predictability and harmony in design.
One of the most defining characteristics of deconstructivism is that it challenges conventional ideas about form and order, as if the designs tried to liberate architecture and art from preconceived rules. The forms often disturb our thinking and evoke uncertainty and unpredictability. Through the controlled chaos, they challenge our own preconceptions.
The designs consist of irregular complex geometries, and the objects are often formed by several different fragments put together without any apparent order.
