First of all, I think that deconstructivism does not represent
a well defined methodology. Instead, it is a loose grouping of
works that have some similarities--like 'expressionism.'

Much like expressionism, deconstructivist architecture is often
very free flowing and may contain elements which seem disconnected
from the whole. What is happening is that deconstructivist
architects are moving away from traditional ways of arranging
spaces and encorporating a new level of freedom and excitement
in the geometry and the composition of their works. They are
not anti-human works, they are pro-expression.
