ZAHA HADIDZaha Hadid is an architect who consistently pushes the boundaries of architecture and urban design. Her work experiments with new spatial concepts intensifying existing urban landscapes in the pursuit of a visionary aesthetic that encompasses all fields of design, ranging from urban scale through to products, interiors and furniture. Best known for her seminal built works (Vitra Fire Station, Land Formation-One, Bergisel Ski Jump, Strasbourg Tram Station and Rosenthal Centre for Contemporary Art in Cincinnati) her central concerns involve a simultaneous engagement in practice, teaching and research

• Her style is Deconstructivism (breaking architecture, displacement and distortion, leaving the vertical and the horizontal, using rotations on small, sharp angles, breaks up structures apparent chaos)• Using light volumes, sharp, angular forms, the play of light and the integration of the

buildings with the landscape.• Integrated into their architectural designs using spiral forms.• She is an architect known worldwide for her talent in various disciplines such as

painting, graphic arts, three-dimensional models and computer design.

The Ordrupgaard BenchThis bench in solid ash was designed by the Iraqi born architect, Zaha Hadid in 2005, as part of the interior of the annex she designed for Ordrupgaard Museum in Charlottenlund just north of Copenhagen. The bench became part of PP Møbler´s collection in the spring 2006.

PP Møbler has made ten pieces of the bench with four benches in the museum and one bench sold privately. The last five benches were used at the COP15 conference in Copenhagen in December 2009. Of those five benches from COP15, one was given to a WWF charity auction, where the participants at COP15 had signed the bench. The remaining four benches from COP15 have been sold to interested buyers/collectors. The bench will not be made anymore.

Tide ShelivngAtelier Zaha Hadid developped this project starting from the idea of a light shaped object, which could express the transition from the solid traditional furniture to the slight thickness of plastic: from this starting point the idea of going back to the algorithm of the minimum surfaces.

A minimum surface is a surface whose points have a medium radius equivalent to zero. An example of this is represented by the soap bubbles coming out when a string is dipped in a soap solution.

This idea took the shape of a symmetric module creating different compositions through various rotations on itself.

The possibility to build and rebuild up the module to fit to the space around or to the different needs makes this project an unicum, where full and empty spaces follow each other without interruption.

Floating staircaseThe new floating staircase maintains the lightness of the gallery space. Each suspended step is articulated as a separate ribbon cast from Ductal®,-an ultra-high performance concrete with exceptional structural as well as aesthetic qualities.- The tensile strength of Ductal® allows the ribbons to remain relatively thin with each tread cast from a single adjustable mould that was engineered in Italy by Il Cantiere.

- The floating staircase has been designed to be demountable

Aqua table-The enigmatic liquid form of the Aqua table awakens one’s curiosity. ---The user is invited to explore the forces of motion that created such a form. -The form is blurring the relationship between the horizontal top and vertical legs-The three blisters bulging out to form legs below the table surface register as indentations at the top surface

-The Aqua table is an organic body fl owing within space. -Rather than being static, it implies motion by adopting the dynamic gestures of liquid to form a continuous surface.- The table’s asymmetrical, irregular tabletop and varying edges create an ergonomic solid that offers endless relationship possibilitieswith its user and its environment

-Through surface mutations at three local points, the table’s legs emerge to form a singular, unbroken surface, elevating the tabletop and stabililzing the beneath. –These mutations are infl ected in the tabletop surface to enhance the singular monolithic form of the Aqua table. Through surface mutations at three local points, the table’s legs emerge to form a singular, unbroken surface, elevating the tabletop and stabililzing the beneath.

Vortexx chandelier

The design idea of these chandeliers are based

on fluidity and seamlessness. Their complex

curvilinearity follows a doubleHelix, connecting its beginning to its end and

therefore forming an endless ribbon of light.

Direct as well as indirect light can be emitted to

the environment. Consequently different lighting atmospheres may be created by the user in

order to match the specific space in which the chandelier is installed.

MOON seating working with B&B Italia, 2007.

MOON sofa is modular seating systems. Each unit can be

rotated, interlocked, and all the units

joined up to make one seating system.

Complex double-curvature geometries are

used by Zaha Hadid to achieve a smooth movement between the seating spaces and units.

’

The inspiration for the ‘Seamless’ furniture collection is the

concept of ‘seamless fluidity’. The latest development in three dimensional design software and the most cutting edge manufacturing techniques help to make such furniture a possibility.These unique pieces explore :

soft meets sharp,

the combination of convex and concave

The Mesa table takes the idea of a table back to basics:ground support and a surface, between these two, a structure is created in which the gaps (voids) express the form as much as the solids

•Her works has revealed that Zaha Hadid is an independent and energetic person who has authentic works and brave enough to speak up about her own taste. As a woman, her design metaphors has represent the spirit of “sharp-energetic-feminine” figure in architecture.
