truction is not any type of metaphor [10] and what is more, that deconstructive architectural thought is impossible [11] , that truly deconstructing architecture would make it uninhabitable and no longer architecture. Nevertheless he collaborated with Peter Eisenman on a competition entry for the Parc de Vilette in 1982 which is noted as a largely important event in the Deconstructivist movement [12] . It is purely irritating. In attempting to make his work untouchable, his ideas high on a pedestal, he has alienated the very people who are most influenced by his theories.

 

The Americans on the other hand never noted Derrida as an influence on their Deconstructivism movement, although there undeniably is some reference.

 

In 1988 an exhibition entitled ‘Deconstructive Architecture’ at the Museum of Modern Art, New York, was launched. [13] Its exhibited architects included Peter Eisenman (with whom Derrida had previously worked), Frank Ghery, Zaha Hadid, Coop Himmalblau, Rem Koolhaus, Daniel Libbeskind and Bernard Tschumi. [14] Mark Wigley wrote the accompanying essay in which he described Deconstructivism as ‘disruption, dislocation, deflection, deviation and distortion.’ [15] He denies connection with the French philosopher and states “As Derrida deconstructs language from within; architecture too should be deconstructed from within itself.” [16] and that “attempts to relate architecture, even this architecture, with esoteric philosophies seemed not only misleading but misguided.” [17]

 

Undeniably the theory is similar to the linguistic philosophy as architecture is ‘laid on the couch’ and interrogated by alternating gentle coaxing with violent torture, to bring the impurities to the surface, [18] it’s confrontational stance on the post-modernist acceptance of architectural history (the origin) and its want to disjoin and dissemble this foundation from within itself. [19]

 

How else does Deconstructivism relate to the architectural movements before it?

 

It is said that Deconstructivism is a reaction against Post-Modernism. [20] Post-Modernism is a return to embrace, often ironically, historical references [21] . Deconstructivists believe that architecture can no longer be policed by that history, it must be housed and maintained, but it can no longer provide explanation for the architecture itself. [22]

 

Wigley believes that Deconstructivism is homage to Russian Constructivism and indeed it is similar in the way they both are concerned with the simplicity of geometric forms as the important artistic content. [23] They both interrogate modern movement forms and hence ‘discover’ form, although the Constructivist (and Modernist) tendency towards purism is not present in Deconstructivism where form is often deformed when the structure is deconstructed. [24]
