- 2. ZAHA HADID Born in Baghdad in 1950, Zaha Hadid studied architecture at the Architectural Association from 1972, where she was awarded the Diploma Prize in 1977. She then became a member of the Office for Metropolitan Architecture; began teaching at the AA with Rem Koolhaas and Elia Zenghelis; and later lead her own studio at the AA until 1987.
- 3. Hadid is a London- based Architectural Designer, whose work encompasses all fields of design, ranging from urban scale through to products, interiors and furniture. Central to her concerns is a simultaneous engagement in practice, teaching and research, in the pursuit of an uncompromising commitment to modernism. During 1994 she held the Kenzo Tange chair at the Graduate School of Design, Harvard University. Her work was awarded wide recognition in 1983, with a winning entry for The Peak Club, Hong Kong
- 4. According to her the architecture is not circumscription, delimitation and demarcation, rather it creates connections, links and networks. She seems to be entirely infused with architecture in what ever she does her encompassing mutual incorporation of historically rooted sensual institution and clearly conceptualized form makes every thing she does charged with a special style though she never loses her foothold in professional competence, no matter how radical and uncompromising her aspirations
- 5. Zaha Hadid architecture has often been called planetary and the reason for that is as the project proceeds from sketch to building, the space ships start approaching the ground, landing the building, then become a prime maneuver of architecture. The traditional duality of figure and ground starts to falter.
- 6. Translating the dynamism and fluidity of her calligraphic hand into fluid tectonic systems. The movement from isometric and perspective projection to literal distortions of space and from the exploded axonometry to the literal explosion of space into fragments, and from the superimposition of various fisheye perspective to the literal bending and melt down of space. Her work relies much more on an internal logic and is definitely the result of her artistic sense more than any concern with deconstructive theory. All these moves appear akin to the surrealists operations
- 7. Architectural landmark in a major city such as Hong Kong. The design here is like a knife cutting through the site, it cuts through traditional principles of organization and reconstitutes new ones, defies nature and resists destroying it.

Galway Structural Engineers Ove Arup & Partners with David Thomlinson ASuprematist geology - materials that are impacted vertically and horizontally - characterizes this cliff top resort loftily locatedabove the congested city. The architecture cuts through traditional principles and reconstitutes new ones, defies nature andresists destroying it.Like the mountain, the building is stratified, which each layer defining a function: the first and second levels contain apartments,the third layer -a 13-metre-high void suspended between the second and the penthouse storeys - features the club. The void isa landscape within which functions - exercise platforms, snack bar, library - are suspended like planets. The upper strata containpenthouse apartments.Offering and symbolizing the pinnacle of the high life, the Peak's beams and voids are a gentle seismic shift on an immovablemass
