INTRODUCTION
Deconstructivism:- An architectural movement or style influenced by
deconstruction that encourages radical freedom of form and the open manifestation
of complexity in a building rather than strict attention to functional concerns and
conventional design elements (such as right angles or grids).
JACQUES DERRIDA (FATHER OF DECONSTRUCTIVISM)
Theory of Deconstructivism:- The point of the
deconstructive analysis is to restructure or “displace,”
the opposition, not simply to reverse it.
HOW JACQUES DERRIDA THEORY INSPIRED
DECONSTRUCTIVISM
It is a movement that appeared in the 1980s as a
response to Modernism and Postmodernism. It is
characterized by the absence of unity, harmony, and
symmetry and is denoted commonly through distorted
geometry or fragmentation of constructed building.
DESIGN CHARACTERISTICS
● No physically pure basic volume.
● Fragmented Mass.
● New Material (Metals, Glass, Concrete).
● Complicated Structure, and thus advanced structural systems.
● Relatively high Void percentage.
● Open Plan.
● Distinguishing from Context.

ANALYSIS
WHY VISUAL ANALYSIS
Through Visual Analysis we observe the
relation between function and form of
building on visually analysing a plan we are
able to segregate the form and function of
building with its fragmented shapes.
HOW WE ANALYSE
As we can taking two building of
deconstructivism which have similarities in
designing of form as well as material but there is
a difference in planning aspects, as we know
elements of design (Repetition, circulation,
void, focal points, asymmetry, Hierarchy). On
observing these elements of design on both
plane we can visualize it.
GUGGENHEIM MUSEUM IN BILBAO
● Guggenheim museum is located
in Abando Bilbao, Spain.
● The building is a Art museum.
● Juan Ignacio Vidarte is the
director of the museum.
● It is a museum of modern and
contemporary art designed by
Canadian - American architect
FRANK GEHRY
● The museum was inaugurated
on 18th October 1997
GUGGENHEIM MUSEUM IN BILBAO (PLAN) It is situated on a plot of
32,500 square meters, of
which 24,000 square
meters are occupied by
building. 9,066 square
meters are devoted to
exhibition spaces

2. WATER GARDEN
3. CAFE/BOOKSTORE
4. LOADING
DOCK/RECEIVING
5. ENTRY
6. STORAGE
7. ATRIUM
8. AUDITORIUM
9. PARKING
10. RETAIL
11. RETAIL STORAGE
12. CRATE STORAGE
REPETITION:- Although the shapes of the
rooms are not the same, not of any real
defined geometric shape, they are very
similar conceptually.
CIRCULATION:- The central
atrium serves as the point of
convergence and the galleries
branch off from it.
FOCALPOINT:- All sections of
the building seem to converge
somewhere in the center, like a
lotus flower. The long gallery
rooms in particular seem to
create a radial design.
ASYMMETRY:- There is no
clear pattern or definition of
symmetry on ary axis and the
design is freely executed.
HIERARCHY:- Each room is placed at a different
height and none are exactly the same shape or size.
VOID:- The inner lighting of building highlighting the inside portion of building which
creates a Accentuation.
WALT DISNEY CONCERT HALL
● Walt disney concert hall is
located in Los angeles united
state.
● The building is a The music
center.
● Designed by architect American
architect FRANK GEHRY .
● The project was initiated in 1987.
WALT DISNEY CONCERT HALL(PLAN)
The Hall consists of
approximately 27870.912

REPETITION:- The shapes of the rooms are
not the same but the placement is connecting
the visual concept of designing and merging
the form shapes.
CIRCULATION:-
The central
portion is main,
and circulation is
from all sides
serves as the
point of
converging to
people from all
sides.
ASYMMETRY:-
There is no clear
pattern or
definition of
symmetry on ary
axis and the
design is freely
executed.
VOID:- The facade created by
windows on some of the galleries
which creates Accentuation.
ELEVATION
ASYMMETRY:- There is Asymmetry in plan as well as in elevation, but in elevation there is
balance which creates proper visibility to building not converging to one point.

UNDERSTANDING
By visually analysing the plan we understand how the relation between function and form works
in which one building shows function follows form and the other building shows form follows
function which gives an analysis to change the function of plan if it is in fragmented shape to
make it properly planned and use it in our plan form these observation we conclude that in a
deconstructivism style with fragmented shapes proper planning aspects according to
building types are maintained.
