EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Deconstructivism is a paradigm shift in the modernist architecture movement. Architects and designers deconstructed forms that broke away from symmetrical, clean forms. The deconstruction of the form allows designers to push the boundaries of form to create something extraordinary.

It emphasizes the characteristics of the form, bringing character and revival to the cities they embody. It is considered a visual expression that unleashes infinite possibilities.

Diverge Magazine believes deconstructivism allows us to challenge ourselves and the possibilities of form in architecture.
