These bulk pieces of different sizes are like getting rid of gravity and floating in the 13 meter atrium In fact, a slope for transportation connects the main street at the top of the mountain and the reception area of the club.
Like other contemporary architects, in her concept, the surface is the key interface between architecture and city, but she follows Le Corbusier’s “lib é rationusol” with most architects Her design falls from the sky to the ground – like a free moving planet – instead of taking off from the ground, she swoops down.
The 21st century art museum in Rome and the water of the London Olympic Games Both the Shanghai Sports Center and the Aliyev cultural center are the architectural manifesto expressed by Zaha with rich flowing space.
Different from the Zaha style curve that people are later familiar with, her early design adopted multiple strip-shaped space blocks.
Among them, Beijing Daxing airport is one of her most amazing works, which is praised by the media as the first of the “seven wonders of the new world”.
As early as 1981, Zaha and her were at the architectural Union College in London, UK Colleagues from the Architectural Association (AA) came to China for the first time.
It was a fascinating trip.
“My drawings shocked me as soon as they came out.
Special exhibition.
I had never been so attracted by the garden scenery.

But I have no doubt about the ‘future’.” Zaha architectural firm has carried out more than 100 projects in China so far.
But I have no doubt about the ‘future’.” the Iraqi is dead, and now in the buildings she left behind, the sense of the future is still overwhelming.
Unfortunately, she herself failed to witness the completion of most of her works.
“Shortly after the end of that trip to China, Zaha, an unknown AA lecturer, led a group of students to participate in the global design competition of Hong Kong mountaintop club in 1982.
Zaha is like building blocks.
The abstract echo between the building and the surrounding environment is one of the core concepts of her design.
She beat more than 1700 contestants from all over the world and won the first Prize in the bidding.
I was inspired by a lot of spatial planning and design.
We stayed in China for a month and took the coastal line.
Why do you stare at an angle?” The unrestrained Zaha is unmarried all her life and has been subverting people’s prejudice against architecture, nationality and gender all her life.
