cultura às mãos de Zaha Hadid

Edifícios que não chegarão a Lisboa, o globo divide-se pelos vários gabinetes de arquitectos, sistemas solares, estrelas. Uma das estrelas, com projectos simultâneos em todos os continentes, é a iraquiana de nascimento e radiacada em Londres, Zaha Hadid. As formas fluidas de novas paisagens.

O Centro de Artes Performativas em Abu Dhabi, nos Emiratos Árabes Unidos: "In Hadid’s Performing Arts Centre concept, a 62 metre high building is proposed housing five theatres – a music hall, concert hall, opera house, drama theatre and a flexible theatre with a combined seating capacity for 6,300 – that’s 1,100 more than London’s Royal Albert Hall. The Centre may also house an Academy of Performing Arts." (mais, aqui)















E aqui, o projecto para o Museu de Arte Contemporânea de Cagliari, na Sardenha, em Itália. Os projectos culturais, aliás, são a maioria do trabalho de Hadid. Mais sobre este projecto, aqui.

"For an architect," she says, "everything connects. The design of a handbag, or furniture or cutlery [Hadid has recently produced designs for three] have their challenges, and they're fun to do. I'd love to get some designs into mass, low-cost production. I want to be able to touch everyone, not just the educated and cultural elite, with a little of what we can do. One of the things I feel confident in saying we can do is bring some excitement, and challenges, to people's lives. We want them to be able to embrace the unexpected." (daqui)
