Bringing Zaha Hadid’s unique concepts to life was not easy for an architect who was determinedly unconventional and too willing to break the rules.Light is diffused through slashes of glazing in the inclined walls, casting perpetually changing shadows through the lustrous, luminous, cathedral like space. The famous titanium scales (seized upon when a price fluctuation in world markets made titanium briefly affordable) impart an extraordinary lightness and iridescence to the overall composition. but a new wave of architects is adapting its usage for this century and beyond, using timber as a primary material for large commercial structures, pavilions, energy-saving facades and even skyscrapers.

Despite the wilful complexity and apparent formal chaos, the plan is really quite simple.Yet, she managed to execute her vision—building soaring eye-popping structures that dominated sky, sea, and the imagination. The vast, often highly sculptural spaces offer provocative creative opportunities for both artists and curators.


As the proposed curves exceeded the capabilities of conventional construction, She was convinced that abstractionism was the best way to capture multiple perspectives.Fascinated by speed and movement, both in how people moved through buildings and how a sight travels through light and shadow, she created buildings that seemed to be shaped by the movement inside and around them.Lightweight, flexible and renewable, wood is having a moment in her architecture, transcending its rustic origins as one of the world’s most ancient building materials.
