Modern Middle East: Performing Arts Centre by Zaha Hadid
When one thinks of Zaha Hadid, the sometimes in-famous architect who is best know for questioning and redefining traditional fundamentals of architecture, one word comes - or should come - to mind: sculptural. She has designed for The Glasgow Museum in the UK, The Contemporary Arts Center in Rome, The Vitra Fire Station in Germany. Her buildings (although many not realized) deal with form, abstraction, line, light, function, texture and architectonics in the most unconventional of ways. She is an art-chitect like no other. And, I am happy to say, the Performing Arts Center in Abu Dhabi is no exception to these rules.
