Dame Zaha Mohammad Hadid, DBE (Arabic: زها حديد Zahā Ḥadīd; born 31 October 1950) is an Iraqi-British architect. She received the Pritzker Architecture Prize in 2004—the first woman to do so—and the Stirling Prize in 2010 and 2011. Her buildings are distinctively futuristic, characterized by the "powerful, curving forms of her elongated structures"[1] with "multiple perspective points and fragmented geometry to evoke the chaos of modern life"

A design museum is a museum with a focus on product, industrial, graphic, fashion and architectural design. Many design museums were founded as museums for applied arts or decorative arts and started only in the late 20th century to collect design.
The first museum of this kind was the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. In Germany the first museum of decorative arts was the Deutsches-Gewerbe-Museum zu Berlin (now Kunstgewerbemuseum), founded in 1868 in Berlin.[1]
Also some museums of contemporary or modern art have important design collections, like the MoMA in New York, the Centre Pompidou in Paris. A special concept has been realised in the Pinakothek der Moderne in Munich, in which four independent museums cooperate, one of them being Die Neue Sammlung – the largest design museum in the world.
Today corporate museums like the Vitra Design Museum, Museo Alessi or Museo Kartell play an important role.
The data in pdf has been collected from the internet and assembled according to the topic. It is not a self written article or paper. The pdf is about the fluid architecture and its scope in India. As per the available information it is limited to residential areas, however taking case examples from Zaha Hadid's works we can see how it can be taken steps ahead into other areas such as commercial buildings as well.
Sense and Sensitivity in Architecture – The Use of Five Senses in Space makingPremier Publishers
This study intends to look at the importance of the five senses in experiencing a space. The five senses include vision, touch, olfaction, taste and auditory. Architects need to look into how a space interacts with its end user. Architecture is the journey and not just the destination. It’s a whole package of experiencing a space and it’s not just about the architect. In the process of thinking and perception of architecture there is always more importance given to visual senses than the other senses and the problems of contemporary architecture is rooted in visual dominance and may be the result of unbalanced senses system. All our information about our surrounding world is achieved by our senses and this information help us in perception and recognition. A building should bring into perspective all the five senses, thereby giving a three-dimensional angle to the structure. This study also looks at the role of perception of a space for a person who is sensory impaired such as a person with blindness, deafness, dumbness etc. Therefore, we use Phenomenology of Architecture to experience a space through sensory properties.

4. The Capital Gate building is located in Abu Dhabi, in the United Arab
Emirates and was completed in 2010. The reason for analyzing this
particular building is because, it is the only building in the world to
lean to an astounding 18 degrees and currently holds the Guinness
world record for the furthest leaning manmade tower in the world.
This building is truly iconic in every way and represents the
achievements of mankind in the field of Architecture, Engineering
and Construction. The building presents us with the opportunity of
understanding the structural challenges and analyzing the various
systems employed to counter lateral loads. It is not only
aesthetically pleasing but also an engineering marvel.

5. ● The Capital Gate building is located in Abu Dhabi, which is
the second largest city in the United Arab Emirates. This is a t-
shaped island which juts into the Persian Gulf.
● The building is an icon in the city, and helps establish the
status of Abu Dhabi as a global megacity. The coordinates of
the building are 24.4187° N, 54.4347° E.
● In order to create maximum impact, this skyscraper is
located next to the Grandstand, a monument of national
importance. This is done to link the future of Abu Dhabi with
its past.
● Its location plays a vital role is
one of the many reasons why it is
considered iconic. It dominates
the waterfront area, overlooking
an urban highway and rising above
other developments in its

7. ● The tower’s curvaceous shape is
inspired strongly from two main geological
elements, one being the sea and the
other, the desert. These two elements
resonate strongly with the essence of Abu
Dhabi.
● The main building’s form is meant to
symbolize a swirling spiral of sand, while
the curved canopy, known as the “splash
,” is meant to represent the waves in the
sea. It creates a wave-like effect, reflecting
the building’s proximity to the water and
the city’s seafaring heritage.
● The Capital Gate building is constructed
near the seashore.

8. Architect Neil van der Veen as a concept architect, chose
a creative decision for the concept, he used sand and
water as a concept which is a dynamic fluid and organic
movement, to capture the moment of the surrounding
nature of the land so that structure adapt the
environment of the land create a well-designed exterior
and interior space, the main feature form is a swirling and
moving sand which is the hotel, with a splash of water
running down from the body to the ground which is a
shading device and aesthetic feature. It provides a unique
presence on the skyline of Abu Dhabi and creates a
memorable identity to the exhibition center.
9. ●Contextual Concept: The imposing
mass, the organic fluidity of its twist, and
the idiosyncratic lean of the funnel -
shaped tower, combine to embody a
specific time, a particular space and a
specific volume, reflecting the geography
and culture of ABu Dhabi
●Conceptual Concept: As Abu Dhabi is a
developing city, because of its
development they got this concept from
human achievement and success and
used it in their design. On another side,
this project looks like a tornado as it is
located next to the Persian Gulf.

10. Double-glazed façade to achieve greater energy efficiency with
waste air pre-cooled in between the inner and outer façade,
before being expelled. This thermal cushion reduces the
energy consumption.
The glass used on the tower’s façade is a low emissivity glass
designed to keep the inside of the building cool and eliminate
glare, while maintaining the transparency of the façade.
Stainless steel shield on the outside of the building which
descends to ground level from the 18th floor. The splash
serves as a shading device eliminating over 30% of the sun’s
heat before it reaches the building, reducing the cooling
required within the tower.
• Environmental Concept:
Sustainability
11. • Material and structure concept:
MAIN STRUCTURE:
● The structure consists of
a post tensioned concrete
core surrounded by two
steel truss systems (diagrid
system).
● External and Internal
diagrid system (lateral load
resisting system).
● Steel beams support concrete
floor & run throughout the diagrid
system horizontally at the node
intervals.
● Outrigger are horizontal trusses
used to connect the building core
to the exterior bracing system.
12. ● Half of the piles are under
compression and run to a depth of
about 20 meters.
● The other half of the piles run to
a depth of about 30 meters to the
bed rock and anchor tightly to the
soil and are in tension due to the
massive eccentric overhang of the
building.
●Use of deep foundation.
• FOUNDATION
13. ● Floor beams are connected to the concrete core via
embedment plates already casted in the core walls.
• Floor System
● From level 1 to level
10, the floor plates are
stacked directly over one
another, and then begins
to stagger over each
other at 800-1400mm
and then back to 900mm
in line with the lean of
the building, between
level 10 through 27.
● The remaining floors,
between levels 27 and
34, shift between 900mm
- 300mm.
14. • INTERNAL DIAGRID:
● the top 18 floors houses an atrium
which reduces the eccentric weight of
the building.
● The internal diagrid support the
weight of the 18 floors and is shaped
like a funnel.
15. ● The primary lateral load resisting
system in this structure is the
diagrid system.
● The members of the diagrid
system, however, vary in thickness
according to the variation in the
structural stresses experienced in
each portion.
● The diagram shows how the
funnel shape of the tower
responds aerodynamically to the
predominant winds
• Lateral loading
16. ● The ‘splash’ is a sun-shading
device which is also an aesthetic
element.
● It is made of a layer of woven
metallic mesh stretched over a
metal frame.
● At the entrance, the splash is a
canopy held up by tree shaped
column structures.
● The splash unifies and
accentuates the unique form of
Capital Gate.
• The ‘Splash’
17. ● It forms the focal Point of the Abu
Dhabi National Exhibition Center
Complex and the Capital Center Master
Redevelopment , along with other 23
towers, that include branded hotels,
commercial buildings, residential, service
apartment complexes and developments
for mixed use.
The Capital Gate building is a very unique structure which was built
with one of the world’s most advanced construction techniques.
Some of the structural innovations used include:
● An interior atrium in the tilting mass.
● A cantilevered restaurant/pool deck
opposite to the tilt
● Varying depth of foundation piles to
provide proper anchorage.
This structure truly captures the spirit of
Abu Dhabi and the original intent of
showcasing Abu Dhabi
