DECONSTRUCTIVISM AND HIGH-TECH AS A RESPONSE TO THE CRISIS OF MODERNISM

This article explores the phenomenon of deconstructivism and high-tech architecture as two key directions of postmodern architecture in the second half of the 20th and early 21st centuries. The philosophical foundations of deconstructivism are analyzed, including its connection with structuralism and the ideas of Jacques Derrida, as well as the creative approaches of Frank Gehry, Zaha Hadid, and Bernard Tschumi. The influence of Peter Eisenman’s concept of “architectural writing” on the formation of new design methodologies is also discussed. Alongside this, high-tech architecture is examined as an approach focused on engineering aesthetics, structural logic, and industrial materials. The article shows that both movements represent responses to the crisis of modernism and the search for new architectural meanings. Their role in shaping digital design and parametricism is emphasized.
