Past works of Zaha Hadid to exhibit in Italy
Our friends from Minimalismi shared with us this info. This October, Zaha Hadid will exhibit her best works in an exhibition at the Salone of the Palazzo della Ragione in the Italian city of Padova.
The Palazzo has presented itself as a vigorous design challenge for Zaha Hadid due to the historical quality of the space. The aim has been both to respect the spatial / contextual characteristics and to intervene in the space at the same time. The undulating blocks, whose forms are defined by the rules of breaking and continuity, generate 6 distinct islands within themselves. Each of these islands define the Conceptual Morphologies of the ZHA exhibition concept, namely: (1) Lines/Bundles/Networks, (2) Waves/Shells/Cocoons, (3) Aggregations/Clusters/Jigsaws, (4) Fields, (5)Landscape & Topography, and (6) Parametricism.

I think it’ll be an interesting intervention. Especially since its likely a temporary one.
Are some of those blocks furniture? Benches for the low long blocks..
Hm. I wonder how a person on crutches or in a wheelchair can experience this exhibit. From what I see, it seems like it would be nearly impossible or just plain dangerous.
that is all.
This is Zaha Hadid’s best work? This is what she presents in the Palace of Reason? Sorry, while I admire her and the quality of her thought, the quality of her work is just, well, horrific. What on earth is the point of this? Why? Why? Why? It just makes no sense whatsoever.

Am I missing something or are people just posting random quotes from the article without adding anything?
That being said, I kind of like the exhibit which is strange because I tend to hate most of Zaha’s buildings. She was a great painter back in the day (maybe she still is) but her architecture seems to be slowly devolving into blobs with no relation to place.
Enof Respect!
Blobs or future forms!
Lets appreciate her work
Its all about evolution, and changing to meet trends whether personal or societal!
I’m going to italy this october…when is the exact date of october?
