_____ is a term used to describe Frank Gehry’s Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain. It refers to the ideas of French philosopher Jacques Derrida.

In terms of art, I believe that what you are referring to
is "Deconstructivism."

distorting."

Buildings such as the Guggenheim Museum in
Bilbao, Spain are one of the recognizable examples that fall under this particular
style.

This style encompasses
graphic design, architecture, and fashion, among others, where elements that occupy the
same space are "forced into new relationships." Jacques Derrida's ideas and philosophies
had a direct effect on this movement. Derrida's ideas are simply the act of questioning;
however, artists that adopted this form seemed mostly interested in rejecting the rules
of modernism. Elements of this style involve the cutting up of materials (in whatever
application is used), the overlapping placement of such, and the "sectioning" of pieces.
In terms of architecture, it was seen as a way to make a break with the more traditional
and "classical...forms of function." Several architects influenced by this movement
include Frank Gehry and Peter Eisenman; and artist Katherine McCoy was influenced in the
areas of industrial and graphic design.

"Deconstructing" is about disturbing the way we
think about form and ultimately, it is about the discovery of new
relationships.
