Zaha Hadid designed the London Aquatics Centre for the 2012 Summer Olympics. Its sweeping roof encloses three pools and was designed to accommodate 17,500 spectators during the Olympics and 2,000 after in legacy mode. Structurally, the roof is supported at three points and the opening between the roof and podium housed additional seating during the Olympics, later infilled with glass. The Aquatics Centre layout aligned the three pools on an axis perpendicular to a nearby bridge with the training pool under the bridge and competition and diving pools within the large enclosed pool hall.
Zaha Hadid was an Iraqi-British architect known for her innovative deconstructivist designs. Her MAXXI Museum of 21st Century Arts in Rome, completed in 2009, exemplifies her style through fluid, curving forms that blur indoor and outdoor spaces. Key aspects of her philosophy included fluidity, using light and sharp angles to create a sense of dynamism. She received many awards throughout her career for pushing the boundaries of architecture and was the first woman to receive the Pritzker Prize in 2004.

This document provides a biography and overview of the architectural works and style of Indian architect Charles Correa. It discusses how he was influenced by Le Corbusier but developed an "authentic modernism" approach that incorporated traditional Indian elements. Some of his notable projects discussed include the MP Vidhan Sabha building in Bhopal, which uses a circular plan and open courtyards, and the British Council building in Delhi, which references Hindu, Islamic, and European influences through its layered design and series of courtyards. The document presents Correa as one of India's most prominent architects who helped develop an architectural style respectful of local culture.
Zaha Hadid designed the MAXXI Museum of 21st Century Arts in Rome, featuring gravity-defying, fragmentary forms. The museum's intertwining interior and exterior spaces are formed by bending tubes resembling infrastructure. Natural light modulates through a transparent roof into the galleries defined by concrete walls. A pedestrian walkway follows the building's outline, restoring an urban link.
The document discusses renowned architect Zaha Hadid and her influential philosophy and approach to architecture. It notes that she was one of the few architects to shape the direction of the entire field through her work. Hadid was known for her deconstructivist style that broke from traditional architecture through displaced and distorted forms. Her seminal works like the Vitra Fire Station and MAXXI museum featured gravity-defying, fragmented designs that were revolutionary for the field.
Deconstructivism is a postmodern architectural style that emerged in the 1980s characterized by fragmentation and an absence of symmetry. It rejects strict modernism in favor of distorted and non-rectilinear shapes. Prominent deconstructivist architects include Frank Gehry, Zaha Hadid, Rem Koolhaas, Daniel Libeskind, and Bernard Tschumi. They are known for works like Gehry's Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao and Hadid's Guangzhou Opera House that feature experimental, curving forms. Deconstructivism uses new software to design complex, non-orthogonal structures that appear unstable yet are carefully engineered.
This document provides information about the MAXXI Museum in Rome, Italy, designed by architect Zaha Hadid and completed between 2000-2010. Some key points:
- Zaha Hadid's design won an international competition to design the new national museum dedicated to contemporary art.
- The building features bending oblong tubes that overlap and intersect, resembling infrastructure and linking the site's geometrical elements. Interior and exterior spaces flow between one another.
- Materials like glass, steel and cement give exhibition spaces a neutral appearance while movable panels provide curatorial flexibility.
- The fluid, sinuous shapes and modulated natural light create a complex spatial framework with constantly changing views.
Zaha Hadid was an Iraqi-British architect known for her innovative deconstructivist designs. She studied at the American University of Beirut and the Architectural Association School of Architecture in London. Some of her most notable completed projects include the Vitra Fire Station in Germany (1993), MAXXI Museum in Rome (2009), Guangzhou Opera House in China (2010), London Aquatics Centre for the 2012 Olympics, and the Phaeno Science Centre in Germany (2005).

Zaha Hadid was an Iraqi-British architect known for her neo-futuristic designs characterized by fluid, curving forms. Some of her notable works include the Heydar Aliyev Center in Baku, Azerbaijan and the proposed Guggenheim Vilnius museum in Lithuania. The Heydar Aliyev Center features continuous interior and exterior spaces inspired by Azeri culture. It has a distinctive wave-like shape made of metal panels without straight lines. The Guggenheim Vilnius was planned to showcase new media art but was postponed due to funding issues. While praised for her innovative style, Hadid was also criticized for some works appearing to serve political regimes and disconnecting from public life.
It is a development in POST-MODERNISM that started in late 1980s.
It views architecture in bits and pieces.
It has no visual logic.
Buildings may appear to be made of abstract forms.
The idea was to develop buildings which show how differently from traditional architectural conventions buildings can be built without loosing their utility and still complying with the fundamental laws of physics.
The ideas were borrowed from the French philosopher, Jacques Derrida.

The term ‘Critical Regionalism’ was first coined by Alexander Tzonis and Liane Lefaivre and later more famously and pretentiously by Kenneth Frampton in “Towards a Critical Regionalism : Six points of an architecture of resistance”
According to Frampton, critical regionalism should adopt modern architecture critically for its universal progressive qualities but at the same time should value responses particular to the context. Emphasis should be on topography, climate, light, tectonic form rather than scenography and the tactile sense rather than the visual.
According to Tzonis and Lefaivre, critical regionalism need not directly draw from the context, rather elements can be stripped of their context and used in strange rather than familiar ways.
Critical regionalism is different from Regionalism which tries to achieve a one-to-one correspondence with vernacular architecture in a conscious way without consciously partaking in the universal.
It is considered a particular form of post-modern response in developing countries, not to be confused with postmodernism as architectural style.
Deconstructivism and Critical RegionalismAbhiniti Garg
This document summarizes deconstructivism and Zaha Hadid's MAXXI Museum in Rome. It begins with an overview of deconstructivism, noting that it views architecture as fragmented and rejects traditional forms. It then discusses Zaha Hadid's deconstructivist style and concepts like gravity-defying forms. The majority of the document describes Hadid's MAXXI Museum, highlighting its sinuous, fragmented shapes and how it blurs indoor and outdoor spaces. It discusses key features like the transparent roof, concrete walls, and how the fluid forms create unexpected views and complex spatial experiences.
The document discusses four major movements in architecture from the late 20th century: Postmodernism, Deconstructivism, High-Tech, and Contextualism. Postmodernism rejected the minimalism of Modernism in favor of ornamentation and references to historical styles. Deconstructivism used fragmented and non-rectilinear shapes influenced by Cubism. High-Tech architecture prominently displayed the building's technical components and structure. Contextualism emphasized responding to a building's site through vernacularism, regionalism, and critical regionalism.
The document presents information about architect Zaha Hadid in 11 slides. It provides an introduction to her background and education, her architectural philosophy focused on deconstructivism and fluidity, and lists some of her seminal works. Key projects discussed include the Vitra Fire Station, Guangzhou Opera House, and London Aquatics Centre. The presentation aims to educate about Hadid's groundbreaking style and her influence on architecture through dynamic, non-rectilinear designs.
An architect typically starts their day discussing project requirements with clients, then prepares and presents drawings and design plans for review while ensuring compliance with codes and regulations, and makes changes throughout the planning process.
Fumihiko Maki is a renowned Japanese architect known for his unique style blending modernism with Japanese influences. He received the Pritzker Prize in 1993 and the AIA Gold Medal in 2011. Maki focuses on using light and simple geometric forms to create harmonious buildings. He aims to design spaces that complement human interaction and the surrounding environment. Some of his major works include the National Museum of Art in Kyoto, the Aga Khan Museum in Toronto, and 4 World Trade Center in New York.
Modern architecture emerged in the early 20th century as architects sought to reconcile design principles with rapid technological change. It encompasses numerous styles that are sometimes in tension. Key characteristics include an emphasis on form following function, simplicity, exposed structures, and use of industrial materials. Modern architecture varies styles from International to Postmodern and aims to differentiate from classical ideals through innovative designs.
Deconstruction is a relatively asinine and senseless approach to understanding the relationship between text and meaning. It was originated by the philosopher Jacques Derrida (1930–2004), who defined the term variously throughout his career.
Geoffrey Bawa was a Sri Lankan architect known for tropical modernism. He respected local context and culture, using vernacular elements like courtyards and roof forms. Bawa's buildings had a play of light and shade and flowed between indoor and outdoor spaces. Hassan Fathy was an Egyptian architect who designed low-cost buildings using local materials and labor. He trained locals to reduce costs while reviving ancient Egyptian design. Tadao Ando is a Japanese architect known for bare concrete and precise geometry. He uses light, water, and spatial circulation to define simple yet complex spaces. Balkrishna Doshi combines modernism with local context and traditions in India. He emphasizes natural light, ventilation, and
The document discusses several architectural theories and styles including deconstructivism, postmodernism, parametric design, futuristic design, and cybertecture. Deconstructivism focuses on non-rectilinear forms and fragmented features. Postmodernism incorporates references from multiple historical styles. Parametric design uses computer software to generate complex shapes. Futuristic designs presented use bio-inspired vertical designs and sustainability. Cybertecture proposes buildings that incorporate technology, multimedia, and intelligence.
Modernist architecture emerged in the late 19th to early 20th century as a philosophical movement to reconcile architectural design with technological advancement. It emphasized form following function through simplicity and clarity. Postmodernist architecture arose in the late 20th century as a reaction against modernism, replacing its functional forms with diverse aesthetics through pluralism, irony, and contextual references. Notable modernist architects included Mies van der Rohe and Le Corbusier, while postmodernists included Michael Graves and Philip Johnson.
Zaha Hadid was an influential Iraqi-British architect known for her deconstructivist style. Some key projects include the MAXXI Museum in Rome, characterized by interweaving concrete tubes resembling infrastructure, and the Phaeno Science Center in Germany, appearing as a mysterious object in the landscape that integrates interior and exterior spaces. Hadid broke from traditional architecture using sharp angles, non-orthogonal forms, and fluid spaces influenced by her painting background.
Modern architecture emerged in the 19th century as a style that emphasized function over ornamentation through clean lines and an industrial aesthetic, drawing inspiration from technological advances, and it is characterized by simple rectangular forms, expressed structure, and an emphasis on horizontal and vertical lines according to the International Style.

Zaha Hadid was inspired by the flowing landscapes of her childhood in Iraq. Her architecture aims to capture this fluidity through forms that are dynamic rather than static, using deconstructivism to break from traditional styles. Her MAXXI museum in Rome won a design competition in 1998. It is composed of bending oblong tubes that resemble infrastructure and absorb the landscape, dynamizing and returning it to the urban environment. Her Phaeno Science Center in Germany appears as a mysterious object that arouses curiosity through discovery. It stands on large inverted conical legs to give an effect of weightlessness. Hadid's fluid, fragmented geometries earned her the Pritzker Prize in 2004 for her revolutionary, gravity-defying designs

Deconstructivism is an architectural movement that began in the late 1980s characterized by fragmentation and unpredictability. It rejects traditional ideas of order and form by exploding buildings into loose collections of fragments. Prominent deconstructivist architects include Zaha Hadid, Frank Gehry, Daniel Libeskind, and Rem Koolhas. Their buildings use unconventional shapes and geometries to provoke uncertainty through challenging conventions.
Hadj Ounis's most notable work is his sculpture titled "Metamorphosis." This piece showcases Ounis's mastery of form and texture, as he seamlessly combines metal and wood to create a dynamic and visually striking composition. The juxtaposition of the two materials creates a sense of tension and harmony, inviting viewers to contemplate the relationship between nature and industry.

3. EARLY LIFE AND ACADEMIC CAREER
Personal Life
• Zaha Hadid was born on 31
October 1950 in Baghdad, Iraq.
She grew up in one of Baghdad's
first Bauhaus inspired buildings
during an era in which
"modernism connoted glamour
and progressive thinking" in the
Middle East.
4. EDUCATION
•Alma Mater: American University of Beirut,
Architectural Association School of
Architecture
•She read mathematics at the American
University of Beirut before moving to study at
the Architectural Association School of
Architecture in London, where she met Rem
Koolhaas, Elia Zenghelis and Bernard
Tschumi.
•She worked for her former professors,
Koolhaas and Zenghelis, at the Office for
Metropolitan Architecture, in Rotterdam, the
Netherlands; of which she became a partner
in 1977.
5. ARCHITECTURAL BACKGROUND
• Zaha Hadid is an architect who consistently
pushes the boundaries of architecture and
urban design.
• Her work experiments with new spatial
concepts intensifying existing urban
landscapes in the pursuit of a visionary
aesthetic that encompasses all fields of
design, ranging from urban scale through to
products, interiors and furniture.
• Best known for her seminal built works
(Vitra Fire Station, Land Formation-One,
Bergisel Ski Jump, Strasbourg Tram Station
and Rosenthal Centre for Contemporary Art
in Cincinnati) her central concerns involve a
simultaneous engagement in practice,
teaching and research.

7. ARCHITECTURAL
PHILOSOPHY
The main components of philosophy
behind her design are-
• DECONSTRUCTIVISM
• Fluidity
• Gravity-Defying
• Fragmentary &
• Revolutionary
• Using LIGHT VOLUME, SHARP
ANGULAR FORMS and THE PLAY OF
LIGHT
PLAY OF LIGHT
SHARP ANGULAR FORMS
INTEGRATION OF
BUILDING WITH
LANDSCAPE
9. CONCEPT OF FLUIDITY
• Although architecture’s image of fluidity presents itself as fully
manifest, its forms and logics seemingly apparent, the question of what
fluidity designates remains unproved. As a material and spatial practice,
however, architecture is able to manifest fluidity in ways not readily
allotted other fields. What most distinguishes the architectural question
of flow, then, is not architecture’s ability to form flows, but its capacity
to question its own spatial image of fluidity.
• Fluidity, however, elicits a set of complex relations in and through
architecture that rejects any such divisive split; asking of architecture,
not what flows or how to form flows, but “How does fluidity form
relations between spatial, social, material and experiential forms?” This
reformation moves beyond explaining how architecture forms flows to
offer clues to why fluidity appears as a defining image at the onset of
the twenty first century
While under modernism, architecture had developed according to various tropes of progress from the dialectical
to that of the machine, the past two decades have seen the rise of architectural generation based less in models
of progress than in ones of fluid models of ongoing formation that reject both production as repetition or the
drive towards predetermined ends.
10. ARCHITECTURAL STYLE
Zaha Hadid's is boldly CONTEMPORARY, ORGANIC and INNOVATIVE.
The architect pushes design through new technology and materials and never does
ordinary.
Her creation are more to do with topography and landscape, emulating a natural form.
As well as creating architecture the architect is a celebrated painter, designer of furniture
and interior products + fittings such as bowls and chandeliers.
Her favorite colour is BLACK, but with different texture.
DECONSTRUCTIVISM
• Deconstructivism is a development of postmodern architecture that began in the late
1980s. It is influenced by the theory of "Deconstruction", which is a form of semiotic
analysis. It is characterized by fragmentation, an interest in manipulating a structure's
surface, skin, non-rectilinear shapes which appear to distort and dislocate elements of
architecture, such as structure and envelope.
12. • Insight
1)Her style is Deconstructivism (breaking
architecture, displacement and
distortion, leaving the vertical and the
horizontal, using rotations on small, sharp
angles, breaks up structures apparent
chaos).
2)Deconstructivisum is an approach to
building design that attempts to view
architecture in bits and pieces. The basic
elements of architecture are dismantled.
3) Deconstructivist buildings may seem
to have no visual logic. They may appear
to be made up of unrelated,
disharmonious abstract forms.

Guangzhou, People’s Republic of China is
one of the Prime Example of
Deconstructivism in Buildings by architect

16. • Project Title: MAXXI: Museum
of XXI Century Arts
• Location: Rome, Italy
• Year: 1998-2009
• Client: Italian Ministry of
Culture, Rome, Italy, MAXXI
• Status: Completed
• Area: 30 000 meter square
• Climate : warm temperature
• MAXXI super cedes the notion of the museum as ‘object’ or- presenting a field of buildings
accessible to all, with no firm boundary between what is ‘within’ and what is ‘without’. Central
to this new reality are confluent lines- walls intersecting and separating to create interior and
exterior spaces.
• In 2010 she got the RIBA European Award for underdoing MAXXI: Museum of XXI Century Arts.
17. MAXXI National Museum of XXI Century Arts, Via Guido Reni, 4/a, 00196
Roma RM, Italy
LOCATION
18. DISCRIPTION
• The building is a composition of bending oblong
tubes, overlapping, intersecting and piling over
each other, resembling a piece of massive
transport infrastructure.
• It acts as a tie between the geometrical elements
already present.
• It is built on the site of old army barracks between
the river Tiber and via guido reni, the centre is
made up of spaces that flow freely and
unexpectedly between interior and exterior,
where walls twist to become floors or ceilings.
• The building absorbs the landscape structures,
creates dynamism and gives them back to the
urban environment for getting absorbed into the
city.
Perspective View of the MAXXI:

19. Fluid & Sinuous Shape
• The fluid and sinuous shapes, the
variety and interweaving of spaces
and the modulated use of natural
light lead to a spatial and
functional framework of great
complexity, offering constantly
changing and unexpected views
from within the building and
outdoor spaces.
20. Zaha Hadid’s Statement
• Zaha Hadid stated, "I see the MAXXI
as an immersive urban environment
for the exchange of ideas, feeding the
cultural vitality of the city.
• It's no longer just a museum, but an
urban cultural centre where a dense
texture of interior and exterior spaces
have been intertwined and
superimposed over one another.
• It's an intriguing mixture of galleries,
irrigating a large urban field with
linear display surfaces.”

27. Galleries, Walkways and MATERIALS
• Located around a large full height space which
gives access to the galleries dedicated to
permanent collections and temporary
exhibitions, the auditorium, reception services,
cafeteria and bookshop.
• Outside, a pedestrian walkway follows the
outline of the building, restoring an urban link
that has been blocked for almost a century by
the former military barracks in Rome.
• Materials such as glass (roof), steel (stairs) and
cement (walls) give the exhibition spaces a
neutral appearance, whilst mobile panels enable
curatorial flexibility and variety.
28. MATERIALS
• Fair-faced concrete
Plain concrete (As-
cast Finish Concrete /
Bare Concrete)
•Also known as
decorative concrete, is
named for its highly
decorative effect.
• Exposed-concrete walls
provide the primary
structure of MAXXI.
•It belongs to a casting
moulding, without any
decoration, place concrete
used directly as a result of
natural surface finishes
Glass fibre reinforced concrete
(GFRC)
•Glass fiber concretes are mainly
used in exterior building façade
panels and as
architectural precast concrete.
•GFRC fins that hang below the
beams into the interior space.
29. MATERIALS
• Glass (roof, floor & window)
• • The use of glass in buildings is a transparent
feature to allow light to enter into rooms and
floors, illuminating enclosed spaces and framing an
exterior view through a window. It is also a
material for internal partitions and external
cladding.
•The glass roof is protected on the exterior by a steel
mesh that screens light and ensures easy
maintenance.
Steel (staircase, column, etc)
•Controls qualities such as
the hardness, ductility,
and tensile strength of the
resulting steel.
•Aesthetical value, modern &
contemporary styles
30. MATERIALS
Plasterboard
•Panel made of gypsum plaster
pressed between two thick sheets
of paper. It is used to make
interior walls and ceilings
•Plasterboard connected with
concrete walls creates the
technical cavity that contains the
museum's complex mechanical
systems.

33. DESIGN CONCEPT
Its principle shape within the detachable wings
of siting its like water in motion, creating spaces
and a surrounding environment that reflect the
riverside landscapes of the Olympic Park.
Its roof sweeps up from the ground as a wave
enclosing the spaces within the structure.
The Aquatics Centre is designed with an
inherent flexibility to accommodate 17,500
spectators for the London 2012 Games in
‘Olympic’ mode while also providing the
optimum spectator capacity of 2000 for use in
‘Legacy’ mode after the Games.
34. LAYOUT
• The Aquatics Centre is planned on an
orthogonal axis that is perpendicular to the
Stratford City Bridge.
• All three pools are aligned on this axis.
• The training pool is located under the
bridge with the competition and diving
pools located within the large pool hall
enclosed by the roof.
• The overall strategy is to frame the base
of the pool hall as a podium connected to
the Stratford City Bridge
35. STRUCTURE
• Structurally, the roof is
grounded at 3 primary
positions with the opening
between the roof and
podium used for the
additional spectator seating
in Olympic mode, then
infilled with a glass façade in
Legacy mode.

41. MATERIAL
• Steel roof.
• Plain white tiles and concrete walls.
• Concrete ceiling.
• 2,800 tonnes of steel were needed to give the 160-metre-long and 80-metrewide roof its light and floating
look.
• The design demonstrates the precast-concrete skills with by exposing the concrete finish rather than painting
or cladding which was provided by Peri.
• The unique six-board diving platform is made from 462 tonnes of concrete.
• The aluminium roof covering was provided by Kalzip. The steel structure was built in cooperation with
Rowecord Engineering, of Newport, Wales. The ceiling was built with 30,000 sections of Red Lauro timber. The
three pools hold around 10 million litres (2.6 million gallons) of water.

43. ⦿It is located in Wolfsburg, Germany.
⦿This being the biggest factory in Europe,
employing more than 50,000 people, is home
to some 120,000 inhabitants.
⦿And receives an average of a million and a half
visitors a year.
⦿Located in the city center, in an area
between the commercial and office.
44.
45. ⦿In seeking to be more than the "city
volkswagen" she was commissioned to launch
the idea of creating a museum dedicated to
engage children and young people to the world
of physics, biology and chemistry, in a didactic
way.
⦿This offers a different option for visitors,
with its traditional theme park
Autostadt and the Volkswagen museum.
⦿It receives 180mil visitors annually.
46. The building appears in the landscape as a
connecting element between the two parts of
the city, establishing a direct relationship with
the city.
47. ⦿ It appears as a mysterious object that arouses curiosity
and discovery.
⦿ The terrain passes underneath the volume as an artificial
landscape with rolling hills and valleys that stretch around
the square.
⦿ The Center captures the surrounding landscape
dynamics in elongated form off the groundthat give the
illusion that the building is moving.
⦿ The public path leads bridge-like woodworm-hole inside
the building, promoting interaction between the inside
and outside which enables, as in floor, a fusion of both.
48. The building allows people to
walk and climb down one
part of the pavement to get
inside. In other places, the
ground floor takes visitors to a
public square. Downstairs
open broad prospects,
exposing the context of the
city, between the concrete
cones.
49. ⦿ So called piles, appointed by the architect as cones, which are
widening as they rise.
⦿ There are 10 of them and each one is identified by its curvature
and tilt.
⦿ These piles are inhabited with windows, and sliding glass doors.
50. ⦿The building does not tread the earth completely.
Much stands on a square with a series of large
inverted conical shapes with rounded corners
that act as legs and give an effect of
weightlessness.
