This document provides information on renowned architect Zaha Hadid and three of her landmark deconstructionist buildings: the Heydar Aliyev Centre in Baku, Azerbaijan, the Vitra Fire Station in Weil am Rhein, Germany, and the MAXXI Museum of 21st Century Arts in Rome, Italy. It describes key details of each building such as their materials, structural innovations, and spatial qualities. The document highlights Zaha Hadid's pioneering work in deconstructionist architecture defined by fluid, non-rectilinear forms.

4. HEYDAR ALIYEV CENTRE
Baku, Azerbaijan

5. • 970,000-SQUARE-FOOT COMPLEX
• WILL HOUSE A 1,200- SEAT CONCERT HALL,
NATIONAL MUSEUM AND LIBRARY ALL
UNDER ONE ROOF
• 243-FOOT-TALL CONTINUOUSLY FOLDING
STRUCTURE

6. • Zaha Hadid Architects created a building
form that appears to emerge from the
topography.
• The skin of the building – a single curving
surface – rises, undulates, and wraps
inward at its base to completely envelop
the building’s various volumes.

7. Each building must be reinforced by
massive 150-foot-long concrete
piles buried below the Earth's surface.
Withstand an earthquake
measuring up to magnitude 7.0

8. • The Library is oriented north to take
advantage of natural light and has its own
entrance.
• Plants tumble over one another with ramps
which connect, creating a continuous
circulation path.

9. • The Library and Museum are also
connected by a ramp that leads through the
ground floor of the Library, to the first floor
of the Museum.
• The Library is connected to the conference
room through a bridge that 'fly' over the
entrance hall.

10. • GLASS FIBRE REINFORCED PLASTIC = DIRT-
REPELLENT
• GLASS FIBRE REINFORCED CONCRETE
(GFRC) PANELS

11. • The cultural centre's main hall is designed
to accommodate a wide variety of events,
from cultural performances to keynote
speeches.
• rotating panels to modify the acoustical
character of the space. This unique design
allows the room to transform seamlessly
from opera hall to convention centre

16. VITRA FIRE STATION
Weil am Rhein, Germany

17. • In this project Hadid’s showcased work
that delves into the deconstructivist
theoretical language that she developed
through her paintings as a conceptual
mediator of finding spatial relationships
and form.

18. They started the project with an intention to
deploy elements of the project so that would
not be lost among the huge sheds of the ships
that make up the factory. They also used
these elements to structure the entire site,
giving identity and rhythm to the main street
that runs through the complex.

19. • The design unifies two very different parts
of the program: the housing of fire trucks
and the provision of various facilities for
the firefighters.
• The entrance to the building is precisely at
this junction.

20. • The whole building is constructed
with reinforced concrete in situ in the
light,
• polished aluminium sliding planes

21. MAXXI: Museum of XXI Century Arts
Rome, Italy

22. The building is a composition of bending
oblong tubes, overlapping, intersecting
and piling over each other, resembling a
piece of massive transport infrastructure.

23. • FLUID AND SINUOUS SHAPES
• SPATIAL AND FUNCTIONAL
FRAMEWORK

24. Zaha Hadid stated, "I see the MAXXI
as an immersive urban environment
for the exchange of ideas, feeding
the cultural vitality of the city.

25. • PERMANENT COLLECTIONS AND
TEMPORARY EXHIBITIONS
• AUDITORIUM, RECEPTION SERVICES,
CAFETERIA AND BOOKSHOP

26. • GLASS (ROOF)
