His Inspiration
Use to play with scrap wood with his grandmother on the floor
Drawn to the social issues, architecture is the panacea for cities futures
“For me it's a free association, but it grows out of a sense of responsibility, sense of values, human values. The importance of relating to the community, and all of those things...and the client's budget, their pocketbook, the client's wishes”
Deconstructivism
Postmodern architecture that began in 1980’s
Departs from modernist style
Function follows form
Non-rectangular, distortion, fragments, manipulation
Influenced by French philosopher Jacques Derrida
Daniel Libeskind, Christine and Horst Lechner
Formal Qualities His work is abstract incorporates movement
The interaction between space, people, and building is important
Reflection and play of light
Functional building, but with a sculptural twist
His Process
He starts with scribble sketches
Then builds a rough model out of thick paper
Assistance take pictures to load to the computer
Computer programs provide the math and physics to make it stand
The Experience Music Project, Seattle
Dancing House, Prague
Guggenheim Museum, Spain
Vitra Design Museum, Germany
Millennium Park, Chicago
