Deconstructivism is a movement of postmodern architecture which appeared in the 1980s, which gives the impression of the fragmentation of the constructed building. It is characterized by an absence of harmony, continuity, or symmetry. Best architects of deconstructionism are : Frank Gehry, Vlado Miluni?, Zaha Hadid, Coop Himmelblau, Peter Eisenman, Bernard Tschumi, Rem Koolhaas, Daniel Libeskind. Frank Gehry has designed the Bilbao or guggenheim museum.
Historicism or also Historism (German : Historismus) comprises artistic styles that draw their inspiration from recreating historic styles or imitating the work of historic artisans. This is especially prevalent in revival architecture. The architects used the new building techniques which followed Industrial Revolution and allowed use of iron and other materials such as in Crystal Palace designed by Joseph Paxton.
Metabolism refers to an architectural movement given force in 1960s and shaped by the visions of Kisho Kurokawa, Kiyonori Kikutake, Fumihiko Maki, and other architects who had come under the influence of Kenzo Tange. It fused ideas about architectural megastructures with organic biological growth. E.g. Nagakin Capsule tower.
