Zaha Hadid the London Based Architect has a Defined style of her own and it is good to see that even England is slowly being converted by her charm. Please visit our last blog post on modern facades and walls

Madrid

We have all taken a tin of soft drink and crushed it on one side before throwing it in the bin. this building sort of explores the crushing process and contrasts it.   In a way we have seen stadia being built like this but this houses the court of Justice buildings.

2)  Zaha Hadid Pavilion

Pavlion Entrance

The Pavilion was supposed to tour different cities around the world, I am a fan of the shell like structure, she visits her favourite colour white and brings out the slickness of it.  One review described the entrance as curvilinear, it is really good.

3)  Zaha Hadid Stonewalls Egypt

The Stonewalls are really out of the box, they might not be out of place on planet Mars, the building give the impression of the letter Y and the contrast with the winged glass on the left side.  Together they give a futuristic feel, I can see a science fiction movie asking to be shot in this location.

I guess with the firm getting a number of commissions from the Middle easst, they have the luxury of creating futuristic villages rather than individual masterpieces.  look at how she has managed to transfere the cavities from the two structures and trafered them to the sidewalks, in fact the air  holes are the unifying theme of the whole Cairo Expo Complex.

The asymetrical structures of the towers hold command more attention than the usual sky scraper just because we have seen tall buildings before and it adds colour to the whole show.

Zaha Hadid Aura, it is a fascinating piece of sculpture because it shows her style in a miniature form, look at the colour and the slick feel it vibrates and look at the curves  it  generates .  Each angle gives you a different perspective than you have seen before.

5 Zaha Hadid Architects Hoxton

I know that Hoxton is now a very fashionable with the artistic crowd, but this is supposed to be the first approved building in Britain by Zaha Hadid , okay she has also drafted the Olympic swimming arena for 2012, but is it strange that Britain has commissioned her work.  I guess she at odds with the British taste in building given the conservative nature of Britain and the planning laws.

Should we get worried when the Chinese government starts getting good architecture?  I really think we should for the simple reason that buildings can be used to make political statements and people like Hitler invested a lot in fascistic buildings.  I like Communism when it was grim and grimmy and not appealing.

Was it always doomed? Zaha Hadid is the last person you associate with Oxford and its dreaming spires. Places like oxford want to harp back to the times and the Rosicrucian nature of England rather than be forward looking.  In a way she did not compromise in the proposed extension and an excuse was found to scrap the plans.  I guess now she is a celebrity they will find ways to approve more of her work but despite her London location, she is still peripheral and really Oxford is not the place to have anything contemporary.

Vienna airport building, it is slightyl tilted to forward but over all it is a more conventional design than the usual. It has a feeling of a ship rather than an airport.

Finally we feature a Dubai post, In all the excitement about Dubai, this creation is somewhat understated but given the cavity in the middle of it, it has out of this world feeling, have you noticed the subtle curve in the height of the building.

I wanted to explore the surfaces and facades of buildings because there have been fascinating facades which have been produced recently.  the first place to look at is China.

1) Romanticism Shop Wall Shanzou, China

This is a  beautiful shop facade by SAKO architects, it is completely original with its net structure which is used both on the exterior and the interior.  I love the constancy of the the whole design and its minimal feel.  The use of glass and the colour white is spectacular and I love the seats and the shape , look at the way magazine rack works.

2)  Taliesin Modern Fabricated house

This is part of a student project and the reason I included this is that there have been new levels of creativity when it comes to fabricated buildings and there has been positive changes away fronm the old cheap and cheerful image of fabricated buildings.

The Taliesin Mod.FabTM was designed and built by graduate and undergraduate students at the Frank Lloyd Wright School of Architecture with the faculty guidance of Michael P. Johnson and Jennifer Siegal, project manager Christian Butler, recent M.Arch graduate, and assistant project manager Nick Mancusi, current BAS student.

I love the colours which have been introduced, red white and a touch of black work well as a combination, the minimalist look also complements the contemporary feel.

I have yet to do full justice to the prefabricated buildings one of these days there will be a post on the wonders of this technique in its own right.

X Architekten this is the facade for the hairdresser which is based in Linz, Austria.  The facade works well because it makes a statement about the nature of hairdressing and it also draws attention of the visitor and gives a little bit of privacy to those who are inside the building.

Please notice the way it adapts to the night, it is stil very stylish.

4 Salt Barn Conversion Turkey

The Istanbul, Turkey based Erginoglu & Calislar Architects

Okay we have seen barn conversion being restored in the modernist style and there is a post about modern office designs below.

I love the ceiling and the way it contrast with the old structure of stone,  It is a very appealing as an open plan office and the use of glass is perfect for the settings.  My personal favourite feature is the black door arches.

5) Conga Rooms Los Angeles Walls

Belzberg Architects designed Conga Rooms in Los Angeles is example of how light can be used in a nightclub in many interesting ways.  there is a beautiful merger of light with walls and that there is a hole where light seems to emit from.

This was just another glass exterior which was transformed by the use of a facade to an interesting building,the straps which give the office a feel that you are being looked at by someone behind the glass.  There is a picture of Malcolm X looking behind a curtain carrying a machine gun and this has the same effects.

SO Architecture have designed this restaurant in Northern Israel and it is there to capture the atmosphere of the undulating fields of Israel.  Look at what is depicted on the pictures in the restaurant and see the exquisite green striped wall paper and compare them with green fams .  The ceiling is inspired by the farm fields when they are .  The contours of the groves in the ceiling are similar to the exterior of the Austrian hairdresser we featured above.

The c lours used on the table and the chairs also capture the changing seasons, with the green, orange and black and white chairs and tables.  remember the office interiors we did a little while back?

8 Bear Cave Ceiling

French architect Paul Coudamy designed this bear cave of an office , this is a very disturbing place and it was designed to show a natural vortex but really this a mad space, it is commissioned by Internet company.

8  Flat Pack  Shop

SAKO Architects has designed this store for a software application of mobile phone, look at the neon like and and the use of orange and yellow to divide the uniform white surroundings.  It is also inspired by a cave like feel, although a high- tech one.

9 SwissNex Shangai Red an White Office Interior

The team of architects at EXH Design have created he offic  in shanghai for Swissnet and its main feature is the red and white which is there to divide the office desks from the conference and meeting rooms.  The white and red are evoke the Swiss nature of the place and the flexibility of the screen is a stylish edition to the office space.

I am big fan on the exterior of the Metamorphosis house, just the slickness of the angles ,  the contrast between the white square shape and the sloping black aerodynamic sides. I cannot get enough of this building.
