From the late 1980s to the early 1990s, the Deconstructivist style emerged, overturning conventional architectural conceptions by deploying nontraditional forms and structural strategies to generate freer, more open spatial organizations. Within contemporary architectural design, Deconstructivism, as an innovative design idiom, has exerted significant influence on the formation of architectural styles and ideas. This dissertation takes the works of Frank Gehry as its primary object of study to conduct an in-depth analysis of how Deconstructivism is applied in modern architectural design. As one of the most representative architects of the Deconstructivist movement, Gehry has played a pivotal role through his built oeuvre. Methodologically, the study employs literature review, case studies, comparative analysis, and theoretical inquiry. By examining Gehry’s projects, it elucidates the characteristic features and modes of innovative thinking embodied in his designs. Accordingly, the dissertation synthesizes the salient attributes of Deconstructivism in Gehry’s work—spatiality, indeterminacy, symbolism, and structural expression—and evaluates their significance and impact on contemporary architectural design. It further offers implications and recommendations for future architectural practice, providing a substantive reference and guidance for innovation within the discipline.
