Abstract
Sustainability pattern is moderately a new current architectural thinking compared to Deconstructivism. The relationship between both drives is still obscure that a few questions emerge: Does Deconstructivism infer any sustainability imperatives? If yes, to what extent are these standards set up? The purpose of this paper is to set the terms, Deconstructivism and sustainability, to present the impacts of these terms in design, to offer insight into the architectural practices of Deconstructivist, and to clarify how deconstructive thought suggests sustainability thoughts within the chosen projects. To investigate the aftereffects of the past cross-examinations, three case studies of Deconstructivism projects were selected. The plan of work is to explore the selected projects, to dissect them against sustainability standards, to extricate the factors associated with Deconstructivism architecture that comply with sustainability imperatives. The author has proposed a scheme to assess the extent of flexibility in the layouts of the plans. The scheme includes 5 categories; based on the freedom, the designer offers to deliver effective alterations. Each category gains a credit esteem contingent upon the adaptability it offers; the more the credit value it implies the more the adaptability the design offers. Investigating the selected projects proved that the primary rules that advance sustainability in Deconstructivism are: simplicity of structure systems that can be dismantled, reassembled, or recycled; elevated ground floor to dynamically accommodate any alterations; clearing the plans from internal structural elements as much as possible; forming the building envelope of assembled unites; and simplifying the geometry and setups of the structures to permit extracting or adding without major interventions.
