IoA-Sliver Lecture
Zaha Hadid, Architect, London
April 6th, 2011, 7pm
University of Applied Arts Vienna, Lichthof 2
Zaha Hadid, founder of Zaha Hadid Architects, was awarded the Pritzker
Architecture Prize in 2004 and is internationally known for both her
theoretical and academic work. Each of her dynamic and innovative projects
builds on over thirty years of revolutionary exploration and research in the
interrelated fields of urbanism, architecture and design. Working with
senior office partner Patrik Schumacher, Hadid's interest lies in the
rigorous interface between architecture, landscape, and geology as her
practice integrates natural topography and human-made systems, leading to
experimentation with cutting-edge technologies. Such a process often results
in unexpected and dynamic architectural forms. Currently Hadid is working on
a multitude of projects worldwide including: the London Aquatics Centre for
the 2012 Olympic Games; High-Speed Train Stations in Naples and Durango; the
CMA CGM Headquarters tower in Marseille; the Fiera di Milano masterplan and
tower as well as major master-planning projects in Beijing, Bilbao, Istanbul
and Singapore. Throughout the Middle East, Hadids portfolio includes
national cultural and research centres and in Jordan, Morocco, Azerbaijan,
Abu Dhabi, Saudi Arabia, and the new Central Bank of Iraq.
