HADID COMPLETE WORKS 1979-2009 Zaha Hadid jest jedną z najbardziej znanych architektek świata. Urodziła się w Bagdadzie, kształciła Anglii, gdzie później powstała jej pracowania. Przez wiele lat, pomimo zdobywanych nagród i przychylności krytyki, nie mogła zrealizować swoich prac. Niektórzy mówili nawet, że są niemożliwe do zrealizowania.

Te śmiałe i futurystyczne projekty przyniosły jej międzynarodową sławę - dziś Hadid należy do elity świata architektury.
Dostępność: na zamówienie Open-minded designs and undefined spaces of radical architecture "Coop Himmelb(l)au is not a color but an idea of creating architecture with fantasy, as buoyant and variable as clouds."

These days, green is the name of the game. There has never been so much interest in the ecological impact of buildings as there is today. This is not a negligible fact in the struggle to control pollution and in the search for responsible "sustainable" methods of construction. Buildings are among the heaviest consumers of natural resources and account for a significant portion of the greenhouse gas emissions that affect climate change.

Innovation and inspiration in today's museum architecture Star architects from Zaha Hadid to Herzog & de Meuron have shaken up the formerly staid world of museum architecture, bringing bravura to new buildings and extensions. But the trend for new museums to opt for bold contemporary architecture goes well beyond the stunning work of Renzo Piano or Tadao Ando.
