Zaha Hadid’s recently-opened Heydar Aliyev Center in Baku caught fire today. Flames started in the ceiling and, according to the Emergency Situations Ministry and Azerbaijani Prosecutor General’s Office, were successfully prevented from spreading throughout the inner parts of the museum. Thankfully, no one has been hurt.
It hasn’t been long since the architecture world was sadden by a fire that caused extensive damage to Le Corbusier’s Unité d’Habitation in Marseilles.

That’s an expensive fire.
чем же было облицовано здание, что оно так горело?смею предположить,что композитный алюминий и очень сомнительного качества.Жаль,надеюсь вскоре восстановят!
Fortunately nothing of great value was lost.
Nãaaaaoooooo o da Zaha nãooo =(
looks nicer with some action, innit?
Hey
How did it happen? What was the reason???
So bad event!!!!
:((((
Dame Haha: Don’t Panic! I gotta Vitra Fire Station & Olympics Swimming Pool !
to bad it didn’t burn to the ground
Architecture Must Burn.
The roof the roof the roof is on fire!
A fire broke out…big deal. If this was the children’s poverty museum, I doubt the media would cover it. The Azerbaijan president is a good leader, but he has some dead fish in his cabinet. He’s got this really corrupt Minster of Finance named Mr. Samir Sharifov. The guy steals from the state oil fund, which is intended for future Azeri generations. The mainstream media won’t cover it, but this guy Samir Sharifov is a partner to Aliyev’s wife, First Lady Mehriban Aliyeva. All the country’s oil money is greased (so to speak) with bribery, which Mehriban Aliyeva and Samir Sharifov run with an iron fist.
nothings lost :)
