nati (19972000)

At the end of the 1990s, her career began to gather mo-


mentum, as she won commissions for two museums and
a large industrial building. She competed against Rem
Koolhaas and other well-known architects for the design
of the Contemporary Arts Center in Cincinnati, Ohio
(19972000). She won, and became the rst woman to
design an art museum in the United States. At 8,500

30-metre long black stairway that passes between massive
curving and angular concrete walls.[21]

1.2.6 BMW Administration Building


(20012005)

In 2002 she won the competition to design a new admin-


istrative building for the factory of the auto manufacturer
BMW in Leipzig, Germany. The three assembly build-
ings adjoining it were designed by other architects; her
building served as the entrance and what she called the
nerve centre of the complex. As with the Phaeno Sci-
ence Center, the building is hoisted above street level on
leaning concrete pylons. The interior contains a series of
Sheikh
levels and oors which seem to cascade, sheltered by tilt-

in the shape of an 'H'. The open interior inside was in-
tended, she wrote, to avoid the traditional segregation
of working groups and to show the global transparence
of the internal organisation of the enterprise, and wrote
that she had given particular attention to the parking lot in
front of the building, with the intent, she wrote, of trans-
forming it into a dynamic spectacle of its own. [23]
In 2004 she won the Pritzker Architecture Prize, the
most prestigious award in architecture, though she had
only completed four buildings including the Vitra Fire
Station, the Ski Lift in Innsbruck Austria, and the Con-
temporary Art Center in Cincinnati. In making the an-
nouncement, Thomas Pritzker, the head of the jury, an- MAXXI

conuence, interference and turbulence,[28]
Between 1997 and 2010 Hadid ventured into the engi-
neers domain of bridge construction, a eld also occu-
pied by other top architects including Norman Foster and
Santiago Calatrava. Between 2005 and 2008 she designed
and built the Bridge-Pavilion of Zaragoza, which was
both an exhibit hall and a bridge, created for Expo 2008,
an event on the themes of water and durable development.
The concrete bridge span on which the pavilion rests is
85 metres long, from the Exposition site to an island in
the Ebro River. The bridge carries or is attached to four
tunnel-like exhibition spaces she termed pods, which
spread onto the island, for a total length of 275 metres.
The pods are covered with a skin of 26,000 triangular
shingles, many of which open to let in air and light. Like 1.3.4 Guangzhou Opera House (2003
her other structures, the bridge-pavilion is composed en- 2010)
tirely of diagonal slopes and curves, with no right-angles
of orthogonal forms. By its curving shape and low prole,
the bridge-pavilion ts smoothly into the grassy landscape
along the river.[25] In 2002 Hadid won an international competition for her
rst project in China. The Guangzhou Opera House is
located in a new business district of the city, with a new

The Riverside Museum (20042011), on the banks of the


River Clyde Glasgow, Scotland, houses the Glasgow Mu-
seum of Transport. Hadid described the 10,000-square
metre building, with 7,000 square metres of gallery space,
as a wave, folds in movement, and a shed in the form
of a tunnel, open at the extreme ends, one end toward the
city and the other toward the Clyde.[32] Like many of her
buildings, the whole form is only perceived when viewed
from above. The facades are covered with zinc plates, and
the rooine has a series of peaks and angles. The interior
galleries caused some controversy; visitors who came to
see the collection of historic automobiles found that they

impression that every part of them is in motion.[39]

1.4.2 London Olympics Aquatics Centre

1.5 Last completed major projects
Hadid described her Aquatics Centre for the 2012 Sum-
mer Olympics in London as inspired by the uid ge-
(20132016)
ometry of water in movement. .[34] The building cov-
ers three swimming pools, and seats 17,500 spectators
at the two main pools. The roof, made of steel and alu-
minium and covered with wood on the inside, rests on
just three supports; it is in the form of a parabolic arch
which dips in the centre, with the two pools at either
end. The seats are placed in bays beside the curving and
outward-leaning walls of glass. At 269 million, the com-
plex cost three times the original estimate, owing princi-
pally to the complexity of the roof. This was the subject
of much comment when it was constructed, and it was
the rst 2012 Olympic building begun but the last to be
nished. It was praised by architecture critics. Rowan

The Broad Art Museum at Michigan State University in


East Lansing, Michigan, Hadids second project in the
United States, has a space of 4,274 square metres, dedi-
cated to contemporary art and modern art and an histor-
ical collection. The parallelogram-shaped building leans
sharply and seems about to tip over. Hadid wrote that
