Garbino trash can, 1996;

-molded polypropylene -Greta Garbo, film actress -Rashid:” The shapes are deceptively simple. A circle is pulled up and out to form the walls. At the top, the saddle or butterfly cut, makes it look elliptical, and provides a natural place for the ‘negative space of handles.’ -”It’s a play on geometry,” he added. “The rounded interior bottom also makes for easier cleaning” -”sensuous minimalism” -Gel sugar, Gummy Bears candy -gel plastics(polypropylene)

Deconstructionism: Post-modernism...more themes Aka Deconstructivism -Deconstructivism in architecture is a movement based on the fragmentation of a building with emphasis on: Discontinuity in exterior elements like surace “skin: and connections of floors/walls/ceiling Avoidance of symmetry and emphasis on distortion and dislocation of functional elements like doors and windows: The building as “controlled chaos” Ripley’s Museums

“Deconstructivism” show, MOMA, 1988

-Curator: Phillip Johnson

Aandersson, deconstructed tabletop designs

-deconstruction: deforming it -absent handle -Aandersson, water pitcher, no date

Conclusion: Futurism: Zaha Hadid, cup

-Cup, no date

-Zaha Mohammad Hadid(1950-2016) Iraqi architect, artist and designer, studied mathematics as an undergraduate and the enrolled at the Architectural Association School of Architecture in 1972 -Described by the The Guardian as the “Queen of the curve”, who “liberated architectural, geometry, giving it a whole new expressive identity” -her style is often identified as promoting “Futurism” in coming up with novel constructions. -”liberated architectural geometry” -”fluidity”

21

-”geometry of fluidity”

Zaha Hadid, London Aquatics Centre for the 2012 Olympics, 2012

-”Queen of the curve” -roof=steel, slumnium Not concrete -parabolic shapes=”controlled chaos” -Newspaper:”the roof floats and undulates like a wave” -ZH:”fluidity”: “inspired by the fluid geometry of water in movement” -not water...geometry of fluid -juxtaposed textures: Concrete vs.steel/glass -juxtaposed shapes: Angular vs.smooth curves -juxtaposed “fluids”: Solid vs. transparent

22

Guangzhou Opera House, 2010

-Juxtaposed textures: Concrete vs.steel/glass -juxtaposed shapes: Angular vs. smooth curves -ZH: “two rocks washed away by the Pearl River” Fluidity “Geometry of fluidity” -Juxtaposed textures: concrete vs.steel/glass -juxtaposed shapes: angular vs.smooth curves -juxtaposed “fluids”: solid vs.transparent -geometry of the fluid” motion of light -auditorium

23

Innovation Tower, Hong Kong, 2014

-Newspaper: “layers of strata” -sedimentary build-up -motion of strata formation -”geometry of strata” -juxtaposed layers: Angular vs .smooth curves -juxtaposed “strata” motion: Solid vs.transparent -similar to the Zaha Hadid cup, no date

SUMMARY: Deconstructionism: -in architecture: “Deconstruct: the language and parts of architectural construction Make use of CATIA to generate form from fragments -in product design: “Deconstruct” the traditional language of the product Deconstruct by removing, making absent, distorting
