The work of Peter Eisenman was later more developed by other
designers and architect who always tried to create something unique for every
project. Although the work of Modern Movement had its own interesting
characteristics, in my opinion the work of de-constructivists was always
tailored for the particular project commissioned to the architects and
designers.

Frank Ghery is a very well-known architect which developed DE
constructivist work. His work does not follow any rules. When we look at his
work we can notice the different ideas that he produce which some of them are
similar and are like a series of designs which embrace similar characteristics
in the design of the building. But some of them are different ideas from top to
bottom.

An architect who designs stunning buildings and products in
today's time is the Iraqi born architect Zaha Hadid. The work of Hadid
immensely stands out from other buildings , her buildings are so unique that
different countries around the world are commissioning work to Zaha Hadid to
design a building for the country to be and icon of the country. It is like
countries are building monuments to make their country more popular around the
world.

Today the work of such architects such as Zaha Hadid is
popular worldwide for their iconic and unique design. One of the tools that we
use today and which dominated the world is the internet. In these past years
every the majority of the world owns a personal computer. This is an important
tool which when used well one can access unlimited amount of information from
the comfort of our own home. Personally, as a design student, I discovered the
work such as Zaha Hadid's and Frank Ghery via internet in the first years of my
studies. By owning my personal computer I later accessed more information about
the architects and was able to discover different designer which share similar
ideas. When studying history of design I had the opportunity to find the majority
of the information that I know today from home by accessing information through
internet via my personal computer which was made in production for general
public in the 90's developed throughout the 2000's.

During the latest years the world was suffering from
different difficult situation which affected a wide range of different sectors.
By entering in an economic recession it was like living part of the great depression
again in modern times but instead of just the United States being affected, this
was an economic crisis worldwide with several countries gone bankrupt. Countries
like America had a huge expenditure during the last decade in war related
expenditure but other countries were affected by the same wars as oil prices
skyrocketed which made it difficult even for several companies to keep up with
the expenditure as they were paying a lot with a minimal profit as the consumer
was staying more alert on what to buy.

Situations like this harm the world of design as well as the
majority of the people prefer to reuse or by cheaper items from mass produced factories.
