Neo Modernism

Ar. Hena Tiwari


Neomodernism is a reaction to the complexity of postmodern architecture seeking greater simplicity.Neo modern architecture shares many of the basic characteristics of modernism. Both reject classical ornamentation, decorations, and deliberate ambitions to continue pre-modernist traditions. Neomodernist buildings, like modernist ones, are designed to be largely monolithic and functional.


What is DECONSTRUCTION ?

_The notions and values once believed are now

rejected.

_Form and function not believed to go together.

_spaces not to be believed to give beauty and joy.


Traditional architecture has been inscribed with the hegemony of

Aesthetics

Comfort

Dwelling

Functionality

Architecture of deconstruction seeks to create a new way of building in which these traditional notions are re-inscribed in an altered context.

Rejection of the notion of Order

Undermining the attempt by all previous architecture to

impose order.

World seen as order less and is thus an illusion.

The world is order less, its chaotic. Reality needs to be

expressed through a chaotic architecture.

The design and form are fixed independent of each

other.Coop Himmelblau, Cinema centre, Dresden, Germany

Form Follows friction and friction … not function

Deconstruction, is an approach to building design that attempts to view architecture in bits and pieces.

Deconstructivist buildings may seem to have no visual logic.

The buildings may appear to be made up of abstract forms.

Deconstructive architecture disturbs the understanding of purity in architecture .


Form & structure are here both contaminated and

impure in architecture.

It is this ability that disturbs our sensibility and

understanding of architecture as being pure that makes

the projects deconstructive.

It challenges the very values of harmony, unity &

stability to propose instead a different view of

structure.
