Deconstruktivism•
”Deconstructive architecture”
MOMA 1988
•
Inspirered
by french
philosophy (Jaques
Derrida) and literature theory:
–
A text can not be read objectively but will be analyzed and
interpreted (and deconstructed) by each new reader
–
All readings as equaly
valid –
depending on the position of the
reader
•
Architecture as stable, permanent structures and elements were replaced by coincidence and subjectivity
•
Question traditional value such as order, stability and harmony
–
Dissolvement of conventional static stability –
inclining walls and
pillars, seemingly coincidental plan layouts and geometrical
mysticism
•

Transformations
and axonometry
”Eisenman
seeks
through
his designs to generate
fresh concepts
that
mislead
and disrupt
present‐day
thinking
about
dwelling” (Cornelissen, 2006:59)

”..en collage i tre dimensjoner, en
ophobning af former og materialer, der
afbilder heterogeniteten i den lokale
kultur i Los Angeles”
(Lund, 2001:197)
Rem Koolhaas
(1982): Apartmentbuilding in Rotterdam
MOMA, 1988
”…bygger på
modernismens formsprog, men gjør dette formsprog
uklart. ’Modernismens
identitet er blevet
flygtig, dens grænser
er ikke længere
klare’
[…]
Modernismen gjøres uren og problematisk” (Lund, 2001:203)
Villa Dall’ava, Paris (1991): Rem Koolhaas

•2500 low‐rise dwelling units ‐
density of
100 units per hectare.
•New interpretation of the traditional
Dutch canal house: 3‐storey, ground‐
accessed houses deviating from the usual
terraced house in being strongly oriented
to the private realm by incorporating
patios and roof gardens.
•Variety of dwelling modes and with
maximum architectural variation
•Three immense sculptural blocks take
their place as landmarks in the vast
expanse of houses.

MVRDV (1995-2003): Silodam, AmsterdamA mixed program of 157 houses (for rent or for sale), offices, work spaces, commercial spaces and public spaces had to be
arranged in a 20 meter deep and ten‐story‐high urban envelope. The apartments differ in size, cost and organization. In order to
accommodate this process in time, a series of neighborhoods of 8 to 12 apartments were created. Blocks of apartments which
surround a corridor, a garden, a gallery and a hall. As a counter‐form these organizations lead to specific apartments:
apartments with a panoramic view, with views to tow sides, double‐high apartments, apartments with a patio, apartments with
a view to the harbor. The daylight requirements caused different
amounts of windows for these types. The economical
requirements added a differentiation in facade material and outside spaces.
As a result, an unexpected sequence of semi‐public routes appeared: from galleries on one side one can walk via slits and
corridors to galleries on the other side and higher up. Connecting all the houses with the hall, the public balcony, the harbor,
the
barbeque, and garden, a three‐dimensional neighborhood materializes. It became a container of houses, literally interpreting
the surrounding harbor. Adding a 21st‐century silo of houses to the adjacent 19th‐
and 20th‐century silos.
One of the blocks contains a restaurant, pushed outside of the volume. The dam has been bent through the volume. It creates a
public plaza with a panoramic view over the river. It compensates for the loss of the view at the former dam. Below the balcony
there is an office with almost the same magnificent view.
