Abstract

The death of modern architecture, because of a crash with too complex matters, made the concept of chaos appear in architecture. Chaos and deconstruction came in the 80's with Jacques Derrida's philosophy. But, by an explicit incorporation of philosophical principles, deconstructivism rejected a necessary depth on it's settings. Instead of facing chaos, broken out by a reduction of the matter of use, and start a transformative reflection, it was considered as a design object. Non of this has changed the relation between use and design. Chaos is just a testimony of the lack of goals in the current scene.
