[Deconstructivism] is characterized by fragmentation, an interest in manipulating a structure's surface, skin, non-rectilinear shapes which appear to distort and dislocate elements of architecture, such as structure and envelope. The finished visual appearance of buildings that exhibit "deconstructivist" styles is characterized by unpredictability and controlled chaos. 1, record 2, English, - deconstructivist

[L']architecture déconstructiviste qui s’affirme dans les années 1990 a de bonnes raisons d’être, en apparence, déraisonnable. Murs penchés, sols inclinés, poteaux de biais, fenêtres inclinées, ces édifices qui semblent avoir subi les secousses telluriques sont bien le résultat d’un travail pensé de la part des architectes. 2, record 2, French, - d%C3%A9constructiviste
