Zaha's design is one of a kind. Both the interior and exterior of this building are amazing the lack of detail on the exterior makes you crave more, makes you want to venture out into the black whole set in the center of this master piece. It is wild and unique. A simple figure like a cube turned into a not only a useful building but a work of art, and who ever said architecture is not art is a fool. Those who don't see the beauty in this structure are stuck in the old architectural box of boredom, its 2010 people don't fear change embrace it, its only going to get better!

Every single one of the people here writing kept there mouth open when they saw this building. Yes, I know, Zaha has greater architecture than this one, but it still amazes people, and innovates. This doesn't means that its function and form dont have a relationship, of course it does, I mean she is a PRO-ARCHITECT, she knows perfectly this words and how to make them by the hand. Oh and by the way, the building looks like if it where burned. Like if it where melting. I think that Zahas innovation is simple and amazing.

Designing something merely because ‘it can be done’ denies the importance of the relationship between form and function. And that relationship should always be fundamental to a design. if this rule its true, why de restorants dont have form a spaguetti, a hose form of bed, a office form of computer? the mith of the international style, that the form must correspond with the function, dont allow more than euclidian pure geometries, and make a boring urban feel every age have their styles, ther design concepts, their convictions, the modernism represent a plast age, like the romar architecture, or any past civilization noe, today in te XIX century,the humans don't hace right to use teir inventive to came out with ner designs proposals? according with this age?

Yes she is amazingly talented but props to partner Patrick Schumacher and the rest of the almost slave young architects who are designing while ms hadid does the proper PR (which is also hard). I like her earlier work better many praise zaha but few people know how many people behind her really move the office.
