"DECONSTRUCTIVISM"
'This is a movement of postmodern architecture which appeared in the 1980's . It gives the impression of the fragmentation of the constructed building commonly characterized by an absence of obvious harmony, continuity, or symmetry.'
OMGoodness! And me with my architectural background had never heard of it!!!! So can I submit a half finished looking quilt as my piece? Haha. It's Hundertwasser/Dali/Magritte/et al all gone crazy.

sounds like anything goes no matter how jarring it might be, even to a building a completely our of character with surroundings edifice
ReplyDeleteOh help!! I can't even spell the word. This is going to be a very hard challenge for me. All my design work centers round harmony, continuity and symmetry.
ReplyDeleteI've just started reading an article about deconstructivism, and found this sentence - It is the unleashing of infinite possibilities of playing around with forms and volumes. I'm feeling much happier now!
ReplyDeleteWell spotted Linda. You are all having an unnecessary panic attack. We have deconstructed dishes in the foodie programmes so lets deconstruct a building and use the forms and volumes. Have fun.
ReplyDeleteOK! I'm going to start learning online! This is another new knowledge for me. Looking forward to seeing everyone's work!
ReplyDeleteThis will be good fun but..... phew!
ReplyDeleteI know what I am going to do! I don't know how but I am excited about it :-)
ReplyDeleteWell done Amanda on knowing what you are going to do - I haven't a clue at the moment and I am definitely going to have to mull for a while over this. Wow Phil you are certainly making this a most interesting and thought provoking challenge
ReplyDeletePerhaps I might deconstruct one of my previous 12 by the dozen quilts, preferably one I don't like!
ReplyDeleteVery interesting subject, although it's very difficult to loose all three concepts. Looking forward to seeing all the efforts.
