A bit incoherent there... Zaha used to do great buildings, architecture!, but now her office has grown to be too big and all they do is churn out objects that look cool, but that have less and less to offer architecturally. I'm formal in the way I work myself, but there has got to be some substance as well! Shrink Zaha's latest projects by a factor of 1000 or so and they could be cool mixers, toasters or even sneakers. But architecture? Hardly anymore. There were several other entries that would have been more deserving winners than Zaha this time, and there have been many other competitions where this holds true, too, but her name has become a trademark, a fashion accessory for people to pimp their cities with. This is blinding the juries to the extent where they don't look for good architectural intentions or solutions anymore, but surrender to the current hype, the fancy renderings and the hope that having their own Zaha will make them stand out in the crowd. It is a sad demise for Zaha Hadid, but an even sadder one for contemporary architecture. Maybe you should take a few English classes yourself, RArc? A bit incoherent there…

I can't say it's ugly,cuz it's not. Toilet seat of not,it's still an artwork. But I also can't see why it should be like this,I just konw Zaha's work will be like this,can this be a reasonable reason to create an architecture?

What this design means? Justice is like play football or cow playings? the spaces inside are offices as always with a great open hall. So... this is another bad joke. Zaha´s best projects were few scale ones. Now her works are so espectacular without reason for their existance. First i thought it was a stadium but Civil Courts of Justice! What this design means?

Este edificio es impresionante, la sencillez de la forma es compensada con el tratamiento de la fachada que actualmente esta de moda en la arquitectura. Definitivamente una extraordinaria arquitecto.

ZAHA is form, form in ZAHA is, just like her fantastic name, bizarre yet attractive. How important is attraction in architecture? How important is attraction in sexuality? How does sexuality relate to consumism? Consumism and architecture? I must say i've allways found Z. Hadid's architecture attractive in many ways and on many levels, unfortunately this attraction has recently become nothing more than the primitive result of an impression.
