ZAHA HADID

Concepts and Ideas; 

Freeform structures 

Interlocking

Overlapping 

Dynamics 

Direction 

Repetitive but has variation 

- Geometrically acute/sharp elements 

- Rigid and sharp elements 

- Wanted to interpret Zaha's freeform and bold structures through overlapping and twisting 

- Structures appear frozen in time 

- There are a lot of lines/beams/structures going the same direction; series of lines portray direction 

- Structures consist of structures with uniformity and some without; wanted to portray both concepts into one model
