series of “follies”, or pavilions in the
part, come to represent the kind of philosophy that Derrida himself is actually
searching for. As he writes of the follies’ challenge to the conventional norms
of the discipline of architecture:
The folies put into operation a general dislocation; they draw into it everything,
until maintenant [now], seems to have given architecture meaning. More
precisely, everything that seems to have given architecture over to meaning.
They deconstruct, first of all, but not only, the semantics of architecture.16

maintenant de I’architecture”, translated by Kate Linker, in Neil Leach (ed.),
