Original project rendering without side stands
Project with side stands
Construction site on november 2009
: : : ::: THE FACT
- described as ‘the most complicated engineering challenge’ anywhere on the London 2012 Olympic Park.
- the steel roof frame weighs more than 3000 tonnes and stands on only three supports.
- two temporary stands were added to the original project
: : : ::: THE QUOTE
“The architectural concept of the Aquatic Centre is inspired by the fluid geometry of water in motion, creating spaces and a surrounding environment in sympathy with the river landscape."
Zaha Hadid

Zaha Hadid. MAXXI National Museum of 21st Century Arts
: : : ::: THE FACT
- Visitors are invited to dive into a dense, continuous space
- The project is characterised by two primary architectural elements: the exposed concrete walls that delimit the exhibition halls and determine the intertwining of volumes, and the transparent roof that modulates and filters natural light.
- The Contemporary Art and Architecture Centre for Rome is the first national museum for contemporary art in Italy.
: : : ::: THE QUOTE
"An interesting thing about the museum in Rome is that it is no longer an object, but rather a field, which implies that many programs could be attached to the museum. It’s no longer a museum, but a centre."
: : : ::: THE CRITIC
"The completion of the museum is proof that this city is no longer allergic to the new and a rebuke to those who still see Rome as a catalog of architectural relics for scholars or tourists. It affirms the view that cities thrive when each generation attempts to rise to the challenges of the past while remaining true to contemporary values. That means that yes, we too — the living — have something to contribute."

It is also clearly intended to say something about Rome, that the city’s spectacular history of architecture is not over

Zaha Hadid. Vitra Fire Station
: : : ::: THE FACT
Constructed as a working firehouse within the Vitra furniture design and manufacturing complex (buildings by renowned architects such as Ando, Ghery, Herzog & de Meuron, Grimshaw) after a fire some years earlier proved the need for such a structure
: : : ::: THE CRITIC
"Sharp edges on its overhanging canopy suggest the urgency of its purpose"
By Philip Kennicott. Washington Post

: : : ::: THE QUOTE
"The Fire Station is a sculpture of cast in-situ concrete that contrasts with the orthogonal order of the adjacent factory buildings like the frozen image of an explosion in a photograph"
