This group is for all architecture students and all architects who really care about the architectural strange styles and the hitech buildings ..

Deconstructivism in architecture, also called Deconstruction, is a development of Postmodern architecture beginning in the late 1980s. It is characterised by ideas of fragmentation, non-linear processes of design, an interest in manipulating ideas of a structure's surface or skin, and apparent non-Euclidean geometry,[1] which serve to distort and dislocate some of the elements of architecture, such as structure and envelope. The finished visual appearance of buildings that exhibit the myriad deconstructivist "styles" are characterized by a stimulating unpredictability and a controlled chaos.
