The document discusses modern architecture and its evolution from late modernism through post-modernism to deconstruction, highlighting the loss of human connection and identity in the architectural styles. It emphasizes deconstructivism as a revolutionary movement, characterized by fragmented forms and a departure from traditional functional requirements, with architects like Frank Gehry exemplifying these concepts through non-traditional designs. It also notes Zaha Hadid's unique contributions to futuristic architecture and the challenges of contemporary design.

POST modernism
Post Modern revivalism
reinterpreted the works
of the
past.
Postmodernism was
response to the lack
of inherent meaning
in the abstract forms
of the Modernists.
Balanced asymmetry
was replaced with a
return to
classical
symmetry

Deconstruction
Around 1990, post-modern architecture was replaced
as a focus of media attention by “deconstruction”.
This style was named after an exhibition entitled
“denconstructivist architecture” organized in New
York, which aimed to establish this new style
.Deconstructivism ideas are borrowed from the
French philosopher Jacques Derrida.
Jacques Derridas ( A French philosopher, searched for the
"ultimate truths of human existence",

Deconstruction
Fragmentation, disassociation, and layering. ‫االنفصالية‬ ‫المدرسة‬
The style of this architectural approach resembled ruins, due to the
use of linear objects, with planar objects, in a disassociated
fragmented way.
Post-Modern Classicism
Neo Constructivism
Deconstructionists used new elements in their designs
.
The Folliers - Folies
the use of overlapped elements which showed a great complexity.
Positive Nihilism
the use of different materials, elements, contradictions, beside each other
.

Revolutionary Challenging. "Deconstructionists can be defined as a
group of architects who have revolutionary ideas and try to test new
boundaries and possibilities.
Ideological of Deconstion
Deconstruction
Digging in the Unconscious. Architects tried to represent what was
hidden in their conscience through their designs.
Complexity between order and chaos
.
Anti-Humanist. The deconstruction architecture was Anti-
Humanist which is against the basic function of architecture.
Opposition. Architects played with oppositions in their conceptual
ideas for their projects ‫المتعارضة‬ ‫االفكار‬
Design idea more important than form, and
function
.Meaningless volumes. Incomplete forms were used in the projects of
Deconstruction.

unlike early modernist structures,
Deconstructivist structures are not required
to reflect specific social or universal ideas,
such as speed or universality of form, and
they do not reflect a belief that form follows
function.
Gehry’s style at times seems unfinished or
even crude.
Gehry is very much inspired by fish. Not only do they appear
in his buildings. His colleagues are recreating Greek temples.
Hesaid, "Three hundred million years before man was
fish..Standing Glass Fish is just one of many works featuring
fish which Gehry has created.
The gigantic fish is made of glass plates and silicone, with
the internal supporting structure of wood and steel clearly
visible.
It soars above a reflecting pool in a glass building built
especially for it, in the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden.

Guggenheim Museum Bilbao · Bilbao, Spain
Frank Gehry’s design for the Guggenheim Museum in
Bilbao,
Spain is so completely unhindered by traditional rules
that regulate architectural design that the
building has a sculptural appearance that is totally
independent of any school of architecture from history.
Gehry designed on a computer the moving and
open curvilinear forms that are reminiscent of
an opening flower.
The small titanium singles that sheath the
exterior of the building, shimmering in the
sunlight and reflecting the changing colors in
the atmosphere, further emphasize the high
tech origins of the design.
The huge atrium has a network of skylights above
with catwalks and elevator
It is very curvy, has a spider sculpture outside of it, a lot
of shapes put together, no windows.

Built of limestone, glass and titanium, the
museum used 33,000 pieces of titanium
half a millimeter thick. 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

internal structure of metal rods that
form grids with triangles

Construction of parking garage
started in 1992, and was
completed by 1996

Construction for the building did
not actually start until later from
financial problems

INTRODUCTION
Dame Zaha Mohammad Hadid,
(born 31 October 1950) is an Iraqi-British architect.
She received the Pritzker Architecture Prize in 2004
—the first woman to do so—and the Stirling Prize in
2010 and 2011.
Her buildings are distinctively futuristic, characterized
by the "powerful, curving forms of her elongated
structures with "multiple perspective points and
fragmented geometry to evoke the chaos of modern
life"
