Order & Disorder:
The work of Fabian Fohrer is intriguing, as it appears to sit at the intersection of modernism and postmodernism in the sense that it burrows and intertwines characteristics from the two schools of thought. His typographic decisions appear to be informed by modernism, but his treatment of the type, the general layouts and compositions and overall aesthetic seem to embody postmodernist attitudes.
He appear to acknowledge the rules, but proceeds to disregard them anyway. Usually, a visual 'mistake' is taken to be a bad thing and it actively left out of the design. Deconstructivist design actively includes these 'mistakes', switching the overall focus of the design. The imperative here is to feel, rather than to simply serve a specific function.
