Overview

"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 This publication contains numerous colour illustrations of designs, models and - as yet mostly unpublished - major paintings by Hadid as well as photographs of buildings both realised and under construction, granting profound insights into all stages of project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."
