Abstract After the publication of Robert Venturi’s books that urges the world to re-think architecture in complexity rather than abstraction and simplicity of Modernist. One of Deconstructivism architects, Zaha Hadid started fragmenting architecture and broke down the orthodox planning of Modernism. However, there are also voices of criticism from general public and professionals from academia that disagree with Hadid’s approach because of the alienation of her work to the contemporary context. The question becomes even more critical when we ask ourselves whether the complexity of Hadid’s work only exists in physical form. Furthermore, if this statement is true, did Hadid’s architecture actually has a connection with Modernism in terms of their abstracted expressionism and persistance in creating new reality that excludes other matters.
