Deconstructivist architecture is a style that emerged in the late 1980s and early 1990s. It is characterized by fragmentation, distortion, and dislocation of traditional architectural elements, as well as a focus on the interaction between the building and its surroundings. Deconstructivist buildings often have irregular shapes, bold angles, and unusual materials, and can be seen as challenging or subverting traditional architectural conventions. The style is often associated with architects such as Zaha Hadid, Frank Gehry, and Peter Eisenman.
