All about his work

The Decon movement stems from a series of discussion between French philosopher Jaques Derrida and architect Peter Eisenman in which they question the utility of commonly accepted notions of structure alone in being able to define and communicate a meaning or truth about a creator’s intended definition and counterposes our preconceived notions of structure with undoing the deconstruction of that very same preconception of space and structure. It is in this criticism or deconstruction of a given construct in this case a structure that architecture finds its justification or its place of presence. In that sense, decon is often referred to as post-structuralist in nature for its ability to go beyond current modalities of structural definition. In architecture, its application tends to depart from modernism in its inherent criticism of culturally inherited givens such as societal goals and functional necessity. Because of this unlike early modernist structures, DeCon structures are not required to reflect any of his ideas. Frank Gehry Santa Monica home is an example of deconstructivist architecture. Frank’s most famous building was the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao that was opened to the public in1997. The building is made in the style of Deconstructivist. It is next to the Nervion River Balbao. The building has fish scale like designs on it. The reflection from the river gives the building an organic feeling to it. The building is made of titanium, glass, and limestone. You can find the building in Bilbao, Spain. As soon as the museum opened it became one of the most popular tourist attractions in the world.
