Zaha Hadid



The work of Zaha Hadid is all has a similar sense of 'motion'. Playing it safe by using a neutral palette of whites and creams, she makes a small space seem bigger. In her project 'Form in motion' She divides the space by using blocks of fragmented curving shapes on the walls which makes sections flow into each other comfortably also by contrasting the light white colour with interjections of harsh black shapes, different areas are highlighted particularly the floor which imitates/mocks the 3D look on the walls and gives various perspective points to the spectator. All of these effects then come together with the use of futuristic, geometrical furniture in the same monochrome style to almost blend/ avoid attracting attention away from the overall theme of the space. Zaha's furniture creations are also very 'motion' oriented, her 'Dune' themed table/chairs are an abstract representation of the sand dunes on a beach; which are constantly changing, this is keeping with her 'flowing' concept. The shapes she uses are very smooth and natural, and the imitation 'sand brown' colour is very true to form.
