The emergence of structural deconstruction from philosophy to architectural design

Abstract

The deconstruction movement first appeared in America, established through literary criticism of new strategies for interpreting literary texts initiated by the French philosopher Jacques Derrida. Derrida's thought has influenced the fields of philosophy, architecture, art, and music in large scale, and these influences have made Derrida an integral part of deconstruction theory and any research in these fields bears the mark of his thoughts and views. In terms of architecture, the theory of deconstruction was proposed by Peter Eisenman - an American architect in the late 80s of the twentieth century. The decline of modern architecture in the twentieth century created the basis for this style to find a prominent place, in a short time, it changed Western contemporary architecture and created fundamental changes in its space. Therefore, the paper uses a descriptive analysis method to present the views of architects and theorists in this field and also aims to clarify the emergent deconstruction process, its origin, and factors affecting it. Finally, it offers suggestions for future studies on the impact of deconstruction on the architecture of countries, including Vietnam.
