"Construction / deconstruction"

Abstract

The report will evaluate Deconstruction and look at the work of three deconstructivist architects; Gunter Behnisch, Coop Himmelblau and Zaha Hadid. Their design manifestos and intent will be identified and their relation to Deconstruction stated. Three projects, of the respective architects, which have been constructed, will be analysed. The architects' approaches will be examined with regard to the way in which the pragmatics of construction have compromised their design approach.
