Deconstructionism
In architecture, a style that fragments forms and space by taking the usual building elements of floors, walls, and ceilings and sliding them apart to create a sense of disorientation and movement.
Essentially modernist, it draws inspiration from the optimism of the Soviet avant-garde of the 1920s.
| Its proponents include Frank Gehry and Peter Eisenman in the USA, Zaha Hadid in the UK, and Coop Himmelbau in Austria. |
