Abstract

The article is a polemic with the views of the two twentieth-century architects Peter Eisenman and Bernard Tschumi, who developed in a relationship, but also beyond Jacques Derrida’s philosophical idea of a deconstruction, their own plan to deconstruct architecture. Reaching to the historical “roots” of architecture and referring to a publication of Cezary Wąs on a deconstruction in architecture, the author shows that the idea presented by the architects is illusory since it does not reflect the essence of architecture and leads to a destruction of this kind of art.
