The library has impressed me once again! We have 21 books on Zaha Hadid - more than enough for some amazing contextual research! As always, the staff were so helpful in assisting me select a couple of books with big photographs that I can study and draw from.
Architecture and Design: Zaha Hadid
CA Press (2009)
• Key words and quotes: Injecting a new level of dynamism into architecture. Explosive, fluid, boundless. Fragments, exploded built volumes. Drifting across agitated ground. Defying gravity. Spatial exuberance. Rejection of closed forms. Networking and layering. Fluid and adaptive language of architecture. Responding to increased levels of social and urban complexity. Separation and repetition. Inspired by organic systems. Continuous form variation. Curvilinear. External textures. Fighting against Fordism in architecture and the bygone Modenrist era. Architecture designed for continual cultural change.
• Images: I really like these different approaches to drawing the same building and they remind me of the Visual Language sessions I have been doing. The use of line, colour and shape changes in the context of looking at lighting, doorways, corridors, etc. plans in the building and the tool used to draw will change the outcome - whether analogue or digital. Is this something I can embed into my initial research and experimentation? Different ways of drawing and communicating the same idea?
