Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Deconstructivist architecture is characterized by fragmentation, an interest in manipulating a structure's surface skins, and non-rectilinear shapes which appear to distort and dislocate elements of architecture. The visual appearance of buildings in the deconstructivist style often seems chaotic or disordered, leading to a sense of disquiet among viewers.
