Abstract

The paper aims to compare and discuss the value of deconstructivism in today's society by choosing two famous architects, Zaha Hadid and Frank Gehry. From Zaha's Guangzhou Opera House, some relationships with the buildings around can be found, and their association largely illustrates the importance of flexible and unusual buildings. Moreover, Gehry has a strong inspiration for everything that happens horizontally, which is a perfect illustration of Zaha and deconstructivism. By analyzing his architecture philosophy and aesthetics, the indispensable part of deconstructivism can be understood with a clear view of how modern architects apply it to their designs.
