Quotes 

• Heinrich Klotz : For me, Deconstructivism is a new trend which will bring to a close much that was before. In fact, I believe that the tradition of the modern is only currently achieving its actual representation. There is now a neo-modernism. The whole scene has become very much enriched and very complex and cannot be defined as a one-track situation, one cannot say deconstructivism is the new architecture now. But there is something like a second modernism now, whose scope is much broader.

• Heinrich Klotz : I believe, in its best examples, deconstructivism is an indication of how we perceive our lives today and a good part of it is the uncertainty we feel. It is also a protest against consumerism, against the ready-made product. Art plays a part as well, aesthetics, consciously applied aesthetic language, to say no to everything that is our daily life, to that consumerism.
