Berlin's 3 Deconstructivist buildings each represent a landmark of the movement. Frank Gehry's DZ Bank on Pariser Platz conceals its signature billowing forms inside a deliberately restrained limestone facade — a Deconstructivist interior wrapped in contextual manners. Daniel Libeskind's Jewish Museum fractured the conventions of museum design itself: a zigzag plan slashed by voids that make absence physically present.
Zaha Hadid's IBA Housing, built for the 1987 International Building Exhibition, brought angular, gravity-defying geometry to a residential programme — one of her earliest completed projects. Together, these three buildings by three of Deconstructivism's defining architects make Berlin a key reference point for the movement.
