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"
The site originally had a Neo Renaissance Style house which was destroyed during the bombing of 1945. The Czech Ex-President Vaclav Havel ordered the study for rebuilding of the demolished house. Architect Vlado Milunic first invited Jean Nouvel for the project but he rejected due to the small scale of the project.
He then invited Frank Gehry who took this challenging project. Since he had unlimited budget because the involvement of dutch bank ING, they wanted this to be an iconic project in Prague. Its construction started in 1994 and finished in 1996.
In 2005 the Czech National Bank issued a gold coin with the motif of the Dancing House, as the final coin of the series "10 Centuries of Architecture."

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

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
3. • 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)
• Using light volumes, sharp, angular forms, the play of light and the integration of the
buildings with the landscape.
• Integrated into their architectural designs using spiral forms.
• She is an architect known worldwide for her talent in various disciplines such as

6. The Ordrupgaard Bench
This bench in solid ash was designed by the Iraqi born architect, Zaha Hadid in 2005, as part of the interior of
the annex she designed for Ordrupgaard Museum in Charlottenlund just north of Copenhagen. The bench
became part of PP Møbler´s collection in the spring 2006.
PP Møbler has made ten pieces of the bench with four benches in the museum and one bench sold privately.
The last five benches were used at the COP15 conference in Copenhagen in December 2009. Of those five
benches from COP15, one was given to a WWF charity auction, where the participants at COP15 had signed
the bench. The remaining four benches from COP15 have been sold to interested buyers/collectors. The
bench will not be made anymore.

8. Tide Shelivng
Atelier Zaha Hadid developped this project starting from the idea of a light shaped object, which could
express the transition from the solid traditional furniture to the slight thickness of plastic: from this
starting point the idea of going back to the algorithm of the minimum surfaces.
A minimum surface is a surface whose points have a medium radius equivalent to zero. An example of
this is represented by the soap bubbles coming out when a string is dipped in a soap solution.
This idea took the shape of a symmetric module creating different compositions through various
rotations on itself.
The possibility to build and rebuild up the module to fit to the space around or to the different needs
makes this project an unicum, where full and empty spaces follow each other without interruption.

10. Floating staircase
The new floating staircase maintains the lightness of the gallery space. Each
suspended step is articulated as a separate ribbon cast from Ductal®,
-an ultra-high performance concrete with exceptional structural as well as
aesthetic qualities.
- The tensile strength of Ductal® allows the ribbons to remain relatively thin with
each tread cast from a single adjustable mould that was engineered in Italy by Il
Cantiere.
11. - The floating staircase has been designed to be demountable
12. Aqua table
-The enigmatic liquid form of the Aqua table awakens one’s curiosity. --
-The user is invited to explore the forces of motion that created such a
form.
-The form is blurring the relationship between the horizontal top and
vertical legs
-The three blisters bulging out to form legs below the table surface
register as indentations at the top surface
13. -The Aqua table is an organic body fl owing within space.
-Rather than being static, it implies motion by adopting the dynamic gestures of
liquid to form a continuous surface.
- The table’s asymmetrical, irregular tabletop and varying edges create an ergonomic
solid that offers endless relationship possibilitieswith its user and its environment
14. -Through surface mutations at three local points, the table’s legs emerge to form a
singular, unbroken surface, elevating the tabletop and stabililzing the beneath. –
These mutations are infl ected in the tabletop surface to enhance the singular
monolithic form of the Aqua table. Through surface mutations at three local
points, the table’s legs emerge to form a singular, unbroken surface, elevating the
tabletop and stabililzing the beneath. These mutations are infl ected in the

27. MOON seating working with B&B Italia, 2007.
MOON sofa is modular seating systems. Each
unit can be
rotated, interlocked, and all the units
joined up to make one seating system.
Complex double-curvature geometries are
used by Zaha Hadid to achieve a smooth
movement between the seating
spaces and units.
28. ’
The inspiration for the ‘Seamless’ furniture collection is the
concept of ‘seamless fluidity’.
The latest development in three dimensional design
software and the most cutting edge manufacturing
techniques help to make such furniture a possibility.
These unique pieces explore :
soft meets sharp,
the combination of convex and concave
29. The Mesa table takes the idea of a table
back to basics:
ground support and a surface,
between these two, a structure is
created in which the gaps (voids)
express the form as much as the solids
30. • Her works has revealed that Zaha
Hadid is an independent and energetic
person who has authentic works and
brave enough to speak up about her
own taste. As a woman, her design
metaphors has represent the spirit of
“sharp-energetic-feminine” figure in
architecture.
