Starchitect – Bernard Tschumi
Bernard Tschumi is a Swiss architect. Born in Lausanne Switzerland in 1944 he studied in Paris and at ETH in Zurich. He is based in New York City and in Paris. His work is said to be associated with deconstructivism. Deconstructivism, as described in archdaily is “Deconstructivism is, in fact, not a new architecture style, nor is it an avant-garde movement against architecture or society. It does not follow “rules” or acquire specific aesthetics, nor is it a rebellion against a social dilemma. It is the unleashing of infinite possibilities of playing around with forms and volumes.”
