Deconstructivism

Deconstructivism in architecture, also called deconstruction, is a development of postmodern architecture that began in the late 1980s. 
It is characterized by ideas of fragmentation, an interest in manipulating ideas of a structure's surface or skin, non-rectillinear shapes which serve to distort and dislocate some of the elements of architecture, such as structure and envelope. The finished visual appearance of buildings that exhibit the many deconstructivist "styles" is characterized by a stimulating unpredictability and a controlled chaos.
MIT s Stata Center opened in 2004 is a label of deconstructivism.




Some other contemporary arts that depict deconstructivism are :
The Turning Torso , Malmo 
Seattle Central Library 
The Guggenheim Museum , Bilbao 
Imperial War Museum , Manchester
