Abstract

Deconstruction, the thought of philosopher Jacques Derrida, has spread beyond its original discipline and has influenced those affected. However, we don’t use the full extent of its proposals, only those related to the metaphysical and its axiological intrinsic pairs systems. Similarly, we will not deal with all matters concerned with Derrida’s discourse, only architecture. This paper aims to identify how his proposals have influenced this matter and if they have generated a «critical» or «deconstructive» revision of some pairs of opposite architectural axiomatic.
