Über diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe

Zaha Hadid (born 1950 in Baghdad) has always been in search of a visionary aesthetic covering all areas from urban planning to interior and furniture design. This publication contains numerous colour illustrations of designs, models and - as yet mostly unpublished - major paintings by Hadid as well as photographs of buildings both realised and under construction, granting profound insights into all stages of project development from the abstract concept to its technical implementation. The texts by the architecture critic Andreas Ruby and Patrik Schuhmacher, are integral parts of the book shedding profound light onto the architect' s oeuvre. Another special feature is the documentation of the installation "Ice-Storm" especially developed for the MAK exhibition, a "space experiment" with a surface area of 300 m2, a weight of eight tons and height of seven metres, providing the audience with a possibility for an active approach to Hadid's language of form and space.

Reseña del editor

As Zaha Hadid has put it, "There are 360 degrees, so why stick to one?" Why indeed? Hadid's architectural conceptions confound one with impossibilities, with floating buildings, indecipherable volumes, untraceable paths of light, spaces seemingly less related to real, livable space than something from a virtual dimension. Hers is a visionary architecture built in fantastic, streamlined paintings, innovative, whimsical 3-D models, and monumentally complex conceptual plans and renderings--and sometimes concrete, metal, and glass. Zaha Hadid: Architecture, published on the occasion of the exhibition of the same name at the MAK, Vienna, documents the architect's newest projects and presents an extensive overview of her complete oeuvre. Included are illustrations of designs, models, and mostly unpublished paintings by Hadid, as well as photographs of buildings realized and under construction, thus granting profound insight into all stages of project development from the abstract concept to its technical implementation. Highlighted projects include the Temporary Guggenheim Tokyo, the Biblioth que Nationale in Montreal, the Salerno train terminal, the Wolfsburg Science Center, and the installation "Ice-Storm," created especially for the MAK exhibition. Texts by architecture critic Andreas Ruby and Hadid partner Patrik Schuhmacher round out this otherwise sharp book.
