ABSTRACT
With the emergence in the 1980s of a series of architectural strategies that came to be
grouped under the heading of deconstruction, a number of different tendencies were
conflated. Analysing that conflation now is productive both in terms of acquiring a
greater understanding of the differing directions at work within architecture during that
period (and enduring up to the present) as well as reconfiguring what characterised
that particular moment into something productive for contemporary design practice.
