A monographic look at Pierres Vives, Zaha Hadid's latest major work, and its innovative approach to spatial design and urban planning. This book documents the ten-year creation of Pierres Vives, an imposing new public building by world-renowned architect Zaha Hadid. The 28,500-square-meter stone and concrete sculptural structure brings Hadid's signature boundary-pushing spatial concepts to urban planning on a grand scale. Conceptualized as a "tree of knowledge" by Zaha Hadid as early as 2002, the structure combines three government functions--archives, a library, and a sports center--into one building to fill the needs of a growing population in Montpellier, France. This book is the definitive source of images for the built structure and the construction process, and explores the architect's design choices, allowing a deep understanding of the work and thought behind the structure.
Zaha Hadid's highly inventive and seemingly unbuildable designs have defied conventional ideas of architectural space and construction. The BMW Central Building in Leipzig, Germany, is no exception. It is the heart of the BMW factory complexthe dynamic focal point of the entire plant that visually, physically, and experientially sustains a sense of animation and motion. With an audacious and abstracted geometry of forms and lines, the BMW Central Building challenges the notion of building as static and is definitive evidence of architecture as art. Zaha Hadid: BMW Central Building, the seventh volume in the Source Books in Architecture series, provides a comprehensive look at this instant modern masterpiece.
Zaha Hadid is an architect whose work experiments with spatial quality, extending and intensifying existing landscapes in the pursuit of a visionary aesthetic that encompasses all fields of design, ranging from urban scale through to products, interiors and furniture." "She is best known for her seminal built works: the Vitra Fire Station, Land Formation-One, Strasbourg Tram Station and the Centre for Contemporary Art in Cincinnati." "Some forty recent projects are featured including major buildings nearing completion and much work in progress in her rapidly expanding London office. A selection of her paintings and presentation of recent design commissions are further illustrations of the breadth and scope of her ongoing work."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Design As Second Nature is the first exhibition in Latin America to showcase the work of Zaha Hadid. Featuring models, audio-visual materials, paintings and photographs, the exhibition addresses the creative processes behind her practice and highlights the importance and complexity of design as an articulating axis of forms and constructive processes in her work. Beyond the various typologies of her buildings, the exhibition seeks to show the working synergies of Zaha Hadid Architects (ZHA), the studio's vision for inhabiting a common world, and the link between nature and creative processes that configure an organic design for the future. 89 images
