Abstract

This study examines deconstructivism in architecture as one of the most prominent intellectual and architectural movements that emerged at the end of the twentieth century. It is closely linked to the deconstructive philosophy founded by Jacques Derrida. The research explores the theoretical foundations of this approach and its architectural characteristics, which are reflected in breaking traditional patterns, adopting non-symmetrical compositions, embracing multiplicity in meaning and form, and deconstructing conventional geometric relationships.

The study also highlights key architects who adopted this approach, such as Frank Gehry and Zaha Hadid, and analyzes selected examples of their work to understand the practical mechanisms of applying deconstructivism in architecture.



Furthermore, the research focuses on clarifying the ways in which the deconstructivist approach can be utilized across various design fields, by drawing inspiration from concepts such as formal freedom, disruption of norms, and dynamic interaction between elements. This opens up unconventional creative possibilities that contribute to the development of contemporary design thinking.

The study concludes that, despite its controversial nature, deconstructivism represents a rich and innovative resource that can be systematically applied in design disciplines, enhancing the designer's ability to transcend conventional limitations and achieve original design visions
