Bernard Tschumi, Folie Transformation, 1986, ink and watercolor on paper, 26 1/16 x 20 3/4 "DECONSTRUCTIVIST ARCHITECTURE," curated by Philip Johnson and Mark Wigley, opened at the Museum of Modern Art in June 1988.

Without delving into Jacques Derrida's complicated theories on Deconstructivism, this book offers a good overview from Russian Constructivism to Peter Eisenman's and Phillip Johnson's 1988 MoMA exhit - Deconstructivist Architecture. The only thing lacking is an update reflecting the current use of Deconstructivist architecture.

DECONSTRUCTIVIST ARCHITECTURE focuses on seven international architects whose recent work marks the emergence of a new sensibility in architecture. The architects recognize the imperfectibility of the modern world and seek to address, in Johnson's words, the "pleasures of unease."

When dealing with the "Deconstructivist Architecture" (1988, MoMA New York) exhibition, one encounters a curiously ambiguous situation. On the one hand, the show is one of the pioneering architectural exhibitions of the New York MoMA, being a core reference point in relevant literature.

Deconstructivism is a postmodern architectural movement which appeared in the 1980s. It gives the impression of the fragmentation of the constructed building, commonly characterised by an absence of obvious harmony, continuity, or symmetry. Its name is a portmanteau of Constructivism and "Deconstruction", a form of semiotic analysis developed by the French philosopher Jacques Derrida.
