The Iraqi starchitect signature is unmistakable
Her trademark style can be found in the sinuous fluid line, the curvilinear movement of balconies as well as the curved profile of the roofs that house the large terraces of the penthouses.
The horizontal structure is emphasized by the geometic shapes of buildings, whose distinctive element is the curved envelope made of glass, aluminium components coated with VOC-Free powders by Decoral and a special red cedar wood from Canada.
When you look at this architecture there is something that recalls a kind of "geological" formation. The structures seem to be shaped by wind and water. Hadid aimed at creating a design that makes the surrounding environment more “natural” by using eco-friendly materials and giving it a peculiar fluid form.
Zaha Hadid housing complex is part of the new district “City Life”, Milan’s new concept of residential buildings, working spaces and leisure time. This huge urban redevelopment project in the former Milan exhibition center gathered three of the most renowned architecture firms in the world: Studio Libeskind, Arata Isozaki & Associates and Zaha Hadid Architects.
