Many Featured articles are vandalized for several seconds hopefully someone can be aware of this.

obviously someone's been tampering with your nicely done featured article. thought i might change it back, but i'll leave it up to the real wikipedians. (lines 1 + 2)

I think It should be mentioned that some contemporary painters (Nicholas Chistiakov aka Nicholaas Chiao) using term deconstructivism to describe their art. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Postmodernart555 (talk • contribs)

These terms all appear in the final paragraph of the article's introduction and they are pretty unclear as to what exactly they are talking about.

There is no real "fragmentation" in deconstructivism because practically it is always about composing and constructing something rather than actually taking apart. There may be a "sense of fragmentation".

There is no need in speaking specifically about how deconstructivism deals with surface skin, cause deconstructivism fundamentally experiments with the building's structure. So the skin, as another part of the building's elements, will be treated the exact same way.

Unpredictability may be a very good word to describe the composition of one of the deconstructivist prototypes, La Villette, but "controlled chaos" is kind of a sentimental oxymoron that feels a bit out of nowhere, like it's trying to give off the impression of this architecture being contradictory in a pretentious manner. The term "unpredictability" is more suitable and it would need further elaboration as to what it means for the human experience in a "deconstructivist" architectural environment. 79.166.59.89 (talk) 09:28, 17 June 2025 (UTC)
