dc.description.abstractThe possibilities for a rigorous deconstruction in landscape architecture are explored, based largely upon the theoretical work of Jacques Derrida, and the architectural work of Bernard Tschumi. Deconstruction is described in its philosophical context and as a form of literary criticism. This deconstruction is compared with recent architectural projects influenced by Derrida’s ideas, with particular attention to Parc de la Villette by Tschumi. Deconstruction as a design tool is compared to traditional design synthesis, and various methods of applying deconstruction to landscape architecture are described.en
