Lecture 39 : Styles & Movements – 7

Описание: This lecture introduces Deconstructivism, an architectural movement that emerged in the 1980s and challenged traditional ideas of harmony, order, and symmetry. Popularized by the 1988 MoMA exhibition curated by Philip Johnson and Mark Wigley, the movement is associated with architects such as Frank Gehry, Zaha Hadid, Daniel Libeskind, Peter Eisenman, Rem Koolhaas, Bernard Tschumi, and Coop Himmelb(l)au. Deconstructivist architecture is characterized by fragmentation, non-linear forms, distorted geometries, surface manipulation, and a sense of controlled chaos. Unlike Postmodernism, it avoids historical references and instead focuses on breaking and reassembling architectural elements in unexpected ways. The lecture discusses key examples such as the Guggenheim Museum, Bilbao by Frank Gehry, the UFA Cinema Center by Coop Himmelb(l)au, and the Jewish Museum, Berlin by Daniel Libeskind. Special emphasis is given to the role of digital tools like CATIA in designing complex forms, particularly in the Guggenheim Museum. The session also highlights the socio-economic impact of the “Bilbao Effect” and explains how Deconstructivism uses form, space, and geometry to create emotional, symbolic, and experiential architecture.
