Abstract

This paper inquires into the relationship between philosophical concept of deconstruction and its practical application in the interpretation of the concept of architectural creativity. Deconstruction is not only understood as a formal metaphor, but as a critical process that examines common approaches to architectural design and approach to the treatment of architectural space. Through a comparison with philosophy, this procedure highlights the architectural approach seen as a decomposition of normal and usual way of thinking about architecture and therefore associated treatment of the architectural concept in creative practice. By case study method, analyzed the formal concept of building 'Zepter Palace' in Belgrade, which is interpreted as a deconstruction of the concept of architectural practice. In this example, in comparison with the well-known interpretation of deconstruction on project of La Villette Park in Paris, derived a key contribution of the philosophical deconstruction to the concept of architectural practice - approach that establishes and promotes a method for creating and widening of architectural diversity, seen as a new space sensuality of aesthetic experience of space.
