Deconstruction
Deconstruction is an architectural style that has had a significant impact on architects and designers as well as policy and decision-makers of high-status projects over the years. It has, over time, been and still is an essential canvas where architects showcase their high-end expertise in building and construction. It is an expressive kind of art whereby feelings, interests, and thoughts influence the variety of designs developed by architects.
Three human sciences have influenced architecture; philosophy, sociology, and psychology. These currents of thoughts have bred great philosophers who developed deconstruction as a critical theory, which afterward transferred on to architecture (Hoteit 117). Architecture has, over time, been a social foundation regarded highly for its delivery of stability and orderliness while still upholding purity. The architect aims at creating designs that do not possess any form of disorderliness or instability. Constructions are erected by putting together symmetrical elements like cubes, pyramids, spheres, cones by merging them into steady functionalities. This is done while still paying respect to the set rules, which restrict any individual from differing with the other. No arrangement is allowed to misrepresent the other, and all possible clash is handled beforehand. The forms add content wholesomely to generate a cohesive geometric structure guaranteeing stability (Johnson & Wigley 10).
Another quality of deconstructive architecture is the necessity to preserve purity. After developing this initial construction, the designer then goes into detail to create a final design, ensuring that it maintains its originality. Unconventionality against fundamental directives and any alterations are termed a threat to proper principles- harmony, unity, stability, and hence protected from the structure (Johnson&Wigley10, 11). This is because the structural design is a traditional tenet that targets the development of a wholesome entity free of any irregularities. A deconstructive architect is not a designer who disassembles constructions but is one who discovers the specific problems within structures and tends to them. (Johnson & Wigley 10, 11).
Angles, colors, shapes, and other external and general aesthetics of a building are what deconstructivism targets to revamp while at the same time maintaining convenience, safety, durability, and, more importantly, the value end effectiveness of a building.
