Deconstructivism in architecture emerged in the 1980s as a rejection of postmodernism, characterized by non-rectilinear shapes and fragmentation of structural elements. Important early works included Bernard Tschumi's winning design for Parc de la Villette in Paris and Peter Eisenman's Wexner Center for the Arts in Columbus. Prominent deconstructivist architects employed manipulation of surfaces and distortion of forms to dislocate traditional architectural concepts, exemplified by Daniel Libeskind's Imperial War Museum North.

1. DECONSTRUCTIVISM IN
ARCHITECTURE
 Jacques derrida (july 15 1930-oct 2004) was a french philospher. He
developed the critical theory known as deconstruction and his
work has been labeled as post-structuralism and associated
with postmodern philosophy.
 In the 1980's a new tendency was born: the deconstruction, which
was also called "new modern architecture" in its beginning. It was
meant to replace post modern architecture.
 The idea was to develop buildings which show how differently
from traditional architectural conventions buildings can be built
without loosing their utility and still complying with the
fundamental laws of physics

2. Important events in the history of the deconstructivist movement include
the 1982 Parc de la Villette architectural design competition (especially
the entry from Jacques Derrida and Peter Eisenman and Bernard
Tschumi's winning entry).

Architecture exhibition in New York, organized by Philip
Johnson and Mark Wigley, and the 1989 opening of the Wexner Center for
the Arts in Columbus, designed by Peter Eisenman.

3.  It is characterized by ideas of fragmentation, an
interest in manipulating ideas of a structure's surface or
skin, non-rectilinear shapes which serve to distort and
dislocate some of the elements of architecture, such as
structure and envelope.

deconstructivist architecture comprising
three fragmented, intersecting curved
volumes which symbolise the destruction
of war.
