Architecture / Zaha Hadid Island
November 3, 2007 | Architecture | by Snell |
With the ten year mark passing us by since the building of Frank Gehry’s Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain, the bureaucrats have decided that the ‘Bilbao Effect’ needs another shot in the arm. This time they’ve turned to Iraqi-born architectural supremo, Zaha Hadid — who seems to be everywhere at the moment — except that this time it is not a mere building but rather a complete island. She plans to cut off the land that joins it to the mainland and reconnect the newly formed island to the city with eight bridges. Read more
Architecture / Light Rod Pavilion
October 31, 2007 | Architecture | by Snell |
Carmody Groarke, a young British firm, have just won an Architecture Foundation competition to design a new pavilion in Regent’s Place, London. The firm is a finalist in BD’s Young Architect Practice of the Year, and has designed the pavilion to be made of a series of vertical rods that reflect light during the day and emit light at night. The design is further enhanced by the ability to move the rods within the building and thus change and utilise different spaces.
Architecture / Chanel architecture
October 22, 2007 | Architecture | by Snell |
Fashion guru, Chanel’s Karl Lagerfield, and star architect, Zaha Hadid, have combined to create this Mobile Art Container, which is to roam the world from 2008 to 2010 bearing installations by 18 international artists. The result of a chance meeting between the two in the lobby at the Mercer Hotel in New York, the ‘container’ is to be manufactured out of super white fibreglass, with an exhibition ring inside. The primary goal is to align Chanel with contemporary art and design in the public eye, and Lagerfield has already decided it’s money well spent: ‘We could have inundated the world with ads’, he said. ‘But this is a more noble project’. A win for all, we think.
