  13. Frank Gehry and Deconstruction (DeCon) Architecture • Gehry is often associated with the Deconstruction movement in architecture, a movement influenced by Modernism, Dada, and other forms of questioning traditional values and structures. The term comes from literary and language criticism. • “Deconstruction” questions whether commonly accepted notions of structure are able to define and communicate a meaning or truth about a creator's intended definition (a definition of space in architecture, for example). • This approach “deconstructs” or “undoes” those preconceptions of space and structure. • It tends to go beyond modernism in the extent to which it questions culturally inherited assumptions concerning social goals and functional necessity. DeCon structures are not required to reflect specific social or universal ideas, such as speed or universality of form, and they do not reflect a belief that “form follows function.”
