The architecture tends to alter concepts of structure’s surface while simultaneously beingcharacterized by ideas of fragmentation .From all three spatial demensions . Crystals seems to be a crystalline solid structured in an ordered repeating pattern .The building’s architectural style or design contrasts with modernism’s systematic rationalism . Actually ,this structure adheres to the principles of deconstructivism , a variation on postmodern design. the term “deconstructivism” has persisted ans is now used to refer to a broad aesthetic movement in modern architecture.
