Furthermore, the essay probes into Zaha Hadid’s extraordinary perceptional vision in architecture, raises up the questions of how to absorb and research Zaha Hadid’s architectural legacy for future architects, architecture researchers. 䩛䃺喟᝻৵e৵䔗ᓤ喑㒻႓喑⣝АͨͶ㔲喑᝻৵䷻ᵩ喑ᐧま჋䌢喑ᕊᘠ㔲喑㜗⩞喑ᙌჅ⾬䔼߈ڠ KEYWORDS: Zaha Hadid, aesthetics, modernist, Zaha style, architectural practice, liberty, perceptional vision ͚ఫܳㆨत喟TU-086 ᪴⡛ᴴ䃳⴮喟A ᪴」㑃त喟1004-8537(2017)01/02-0036-17 ArchiCreationArchiCreation :➖喟ȨZaha Hadid❴ܧλ᝻৵⮱䛺㺮ڠࡃহ྿Ҁ䄊䄚ᱰ߈̸⮱᫝ಸᐧまጵࣷᐧま჋䌢⮱᫦ᐼȡ᝸䓦ᰶ̶᱙⤰ڕఋ䶫᝻৵⮱㕹͇⩌⋜喑᜾Йⰸݝ The Complete Buildings and Projectsȩ喑ȨZaha Hadid 1983-2004 El CroquisȩহȨHadid喑Complete Works 1979-2009ȩ喑ᖝສܳݘ 䒙ᢏ喑ϻす̭᱙Γ⮱͹ច䗓ᐼ⮱ᐧまᕊڕλ 1998 ᎡȠ2004 Ꭱহ 2009 Ꭱ喑⃼᱙Γ䬡䯁 5 嗣 6 Ꭱȡౕ̺ツ䪬⮱䬡䯁͚喑ᄦλ᝻৵⮱㶕䔝䛺◦Ⴙ❴ܧ ᐧまϔ͇䨫᲎͚⮱̭͗ప䭲䶣㏔⩌ϔ㔲ȡᄦλ᝻৵⮱䄊䷅ᒵ䯫ౕ̭̭͗㜡⮱ᴴ۳⤰ڕݝ 2009 Ꭱጟ㏼᜽ͧںᰶ͝ჹ჋䌢⮱ᐧまጵ喑ڤ㔰㔲䓲䕌䒙ᢏͧ ̸䔈㵹䃕䃧喑䔆ᒵ๔⼸Ꮣ̷ᅞᲒ㜗λ䔆⻺䏘Ъ䒙ᢏ᝭ፓᲒ⮱⪾䬛喟᝻৵e৵䔗ᓤ喑჋䌢ᐧまጵ᝻৵e৵䔗ᓤ喑᝻৵e৵䔗ᓤᐧまጵθߎ᝭喑⾣「ਗ̭͗ Ꭱ䛹喑ᕽᕂ䔆ψᅯ䲏⮱οߕ⇎㘪ᰶᱧчࣾᆂ̭ͧ⻺ⰥᄦధჇ⮱҉⩕὎ᐼ喑܍λᐧま⮱ਗ̭͗ᅯ䲏⮱۠Ⴧ喤ౕ᝻৵჋䌢⩌⋜下䕌ࣾᆂ⮱̓㏗͸ϑ⮱ڠ㖴໸γ 㔹᝻৵⮱͗ϧ㞟ᒖࣵ᭜ຯₑᑧ◵喑㺮ܳ⌲䔆ψᅯ⁎䔈㵹䃕䃧喑⻨ᐭγᒀθϧ⮱ӈ䔝ᅞᰡ᭜Ჶ♣ȡ In retrospect of Zaha Hadid's career, we could somewhat observe the rise of new architectural practice and approach, especially under the discourse of globalization and mass media. There happen to be three of the retrospective publications on Zaha Hadid right next to me: Zaha Hadid: The Complete Buildings and Projects, ‘Zaha Hadid 1983-2004’ El Croquis, and Hadid, Complete Works 1979-2009, which were published in 1998, 2004 and 2009 respectively, with approximately 5 years intervals. Within a relatively short period of time, there is a drastic shift in Zaha’s narratives through her works: from the ‘Zaha’ with rather utopian architectural thoughts in the first book, shifting rapidly to ‘Zaha’ who has completed plenty of built works, and finally by 2009 ‘Zaha Hadid’ as one of the top international players in the whole global architectural industry. If we base on a stagnated datum, it would become rather difficult to discuss Zaha’s work, in fact the shifting identities throughout her career seem to suggest so: Zaha Hadid as academia, Zaha Hadid as a practitioner, and Zaha Hadid Architects as a world ArchiCreationArchiCreation 37 ©Pan Yan + Li Zhen 㐡➦៶⊵䭟〆 Vitra Fire Station renowned office. Which of these identities had a crucial impact on her design approach? Zaha’s practice swiftly developed only in a few years at the turn of the millennium, where these approaches might not have developed into methodologies but rather remain as temporal reaction. While Zaha’s stylistic aura being so exquisite, it would only be a rather vain attempt to try and discuss her architectural approach on a clarified manner without her own clarification. ᐧま჋䌢ȡ᝻৵e৵䔗ᓤ᭜̭͗ᏋᱯႼ๔⮱䄊䷅喑᱙᪴ϲڣ䗐͵喑᱙͚᪴᜾Йगᰶఋݝ᝻৵⮱ᐧまহ㡶ఫ᱙䏘喑䕇䓴᳽ψ䶦Ⱋノ⿒᝻৵⮱ᐧま႓̻ ㈨喠᝻৵̻᝻৵䷻ᵩ喠᝻৵ౕ͚ప⮱჋䌢ᄦλ᝻৵হ͚ప⮱ᘼͶ喠ڠ䬛䷅ᐭ໸ᣏ䃕喟᝻৵হ⣝АͨͶ⮱͗܍䔆͗ヴ፲㘪์䔝ࣷ⮱᫦䲏ϲϲ䄂ఫᅞຯ̸ౕ ᝻৵ࣨγ喑຦⮱ⵁ⾣হ჋䌢ਗψթᓄ᜾Йឬ㐔㔹㐔㐚ݺ㵹ȡ In this article, I try to have a scrupulous glimpse of Zaha’s architectural practice through her buildings and drawings. The discussion on Zaha Hadid is a vague and complicated one, within the limited length of this article, I am going to focus the scope of the discussion on the following points: 1. the relationship between Zaha and Modernism; 2. Zaha and the Zaha style; 3. The significance of Zaha’s Chinese practice for Zaha and China; 4. What we can inherit from Zaha’s research and practice after she left us.

Through the fragmentation of architectural language in her experiment, she was able to transform her conceptual drawings to the built work, which forms one of the most constant ideas of her architectural approach. One can imagine, that Zaha who just began her independent practice in 1979, but not yet had any built work, needed to equip herself with a diverse knowledge – architectural construction, the way to transform ideas into space, project collaboration and coordination. The firefighters, as the users of the building, had quite a lot of complaints1, which came from a kind of confusion, a confusion where space exceeds the expectation of the users. And such confusion is precisely where Zaha demonstrates the poignancy of her practice. Apart from how our attentions are quickly attracted by the ‘blade’ of the entrance porch and the interwoven steel components (which few complain), the alienating affect comes from its ground and public furniture stretched from the main building, as well as those shiny black grey metallic partition walls within the building. Here, Zaha managed to challenge the common concepts of architecture by questioning the ideas of inside and outside, architecture and landscape, and the integral parts within the building, but at the same time, inherited a classic modernist idea - ‘transparency’. The use of external public furniture extends the effect of building onto the site, and questions the dichotomy between architecture and nature. The faceted forms and the sharp edges of the interior partitions imply the gradual transformation of the architectural form, from the concrete structural frame to the dark grey reflective walls intermingled among the frame. The combination of tangible materials and reflective interior surfaces creates a spatial impression of transparency, on the basis of which the modernist ideal of publicness is achieved. ҉ͧす̭͗㥪᜽⮱ᐧま䶦Ⱋ喑Ⴐᆂ⹧γБϧᗷद⮱᜽⛌ᕔȡ䔆⻺᜽⛌ᕔͨ㺮Ҁ⣝ౕ喑㮪♣䕇䓴䔆͗ᐧま᝻৵ᰶᒵ็䄊㺮䃟喑ѳ᭜Ⴐ㐊̺᭜ᐧま⤳ArchiCreationᔢ ᰶ̭͗ᐧま㜗䏘⮱⩌প喑᝭䅀⤳ᔢ➏➏ౝ䮽㫼ౕᱽ᫆Ƞ⾧䬡Ƞߌ㘪㏱㏴ᵩᅭ喍program喎䔆ψᐧま⮱᭫ᕔ䃛䷅͸ऻȡᅞ׼̭͗ڤ⮱⾧≋⮱ព䴠கȡႰ ࡮ᎡА⮱ݺژ᜽⛌⮱ᄩ⑁ч䃖⃼͗⑁অ⋸⑀ᅪ㜡ౝࣾᡒݝᲮ㜡喑㔹̺᭜䃖ЃЙຯह᱕֣̭㝙ប㵹ᄩ⑁ᄦ̭䷓̭〾⮱䶱᱌ȡ䔆Ҭ᝻৵̻̭ឦArchiCreation20 ̓㏗̰Ƞ ࢘ᐧまጵ喍䔆͗ऺࢂ᭫♣࠲᠙ќ㏠ᓤeᅵㆠȠᒩᓄe㞫ḛᰩぶϧ喎ϻ᱙䉕̷ࡧܳᐭᲒ喑ΌҬϧЙⰥԎ຦̺ϲ᭜ᐧまᕊ㔰㔲喑Όч᭜ь๔⮱჋䌢ᐧまጵȡ As the first completed project, the maturity of her work was rather surprising. It is clear that, although she had a lot to say through this building, it is by no means an amplifier of vague architectural concepts. Its maturity was embodied in the way how materials, space and programmatic arrangement enriched each other, which expresses its own liveliness. Like a mature director, she would give the possibility for every actor to approach to their own extreme, rather than treating them as puppeteers by controlling every single emotion to her own expectation. This distinguishes Zaha Hadid from the group of avant-garde architects from the 1970s and 1980s (including Bernard Tschumi, Peter Eisenman and others), where she was not only an architectural thinker, but would also be a great practitioner. 䄡᭜຦ౕ㗏㼐ᐧま⮱ڣ᝻৵ౕ 1980 ᎡА҉ͧ㼐ᲱͨͶᐧまጵͧϧЙ᝭ⴒ喑㔹Ϸ๖喑㼐ᲱͨͶ䔆͗ᴴカ䘪̺๗ᰶϧ䄵䊤γȡ᜾ᘠᄦλ᝻৵㔹㼭喑̻ λᐧま㏱᜽䘕ܳ⮱䶱䃫喑λ᭜ⅡᎠ䲏Ƞڠ䘕⼸ᐼࡃ⮱㏓ჇԄ᜽喑ᄳᄦ⾧䬡ٰ㉍⮱䰭Ⅿ䔅࣌ݝ⾧䬡ٰ㉍喑㔹̺᭜ᄳႰЙ᲌㑇λڕ䄚㼭喑̺ຯ䄡᭜កⵡᐧま λᐧ⿸㔹̺᭜⊵㼐⮱喑࣌ᰶ⮱Ⴧڠ㖁ᘼͶ喑ͧᐧまःᓄᰡ๔⮱㜗⩞ȡᐧまᰭ㏵᭜ڠ᫉䲏Ƞᰟ䲏ᰬАγౝ䲏Ƞෆ䲏䔆ᵤ⮱ܿܳȡः⊵䔆ψᐧまᲱУ⮱࣌ᰶ Ͷ㷘ޟ䮑Ƞកⵡ喑ΌᅞᘼঠⱭ䰭㺮᫝⮱㒻႓∂݆Გ㐌ᓎ䔆ψ㷘䛷ᩫ⮱ᒏᔮȡ᝻৵ᄦλϷ๖ᐧま႓⮱̭͗ጕ๔䉎⡛ΌᅞౕλͧⵡⶻȠ䓽ߕ䔆ψ㜗♣͚ႅౕ ፚ͸ౝ喑ᰡ̭ڣ⮱ᒏᔮহϧㆨᓰ⤳≨ߕ͚ႅౕ⮱ᗲ㐗喑䔆ψ๖♣̻ᐧま⮱⽠ჇᕔⰥᗃ⮱䄚㼭喑䔆ψэ㐌ᐧま႓ᬍัႶᩫ⮱Ꭺ▢喑̺ϲౕᐧま⤳ᔢ̷䉸ε 1 According to the Vitra tour explanations.

I believe that, rather than aiming to disassemble architectural languages, what Zaha was really trying to achieve was to break the stylized conventions of architecture at the time. By returning to the basic needs of spatial elements, instead of predicting them as a pre-set architectural component, she offered an alternative to the rigid division of ‘ground’ and ‘wall’, namely the horizontal, inclined and curved planes. Her architecture gained more freedom from breaking the original relationship of those building components. However, architecture is ultimately about assembling rather than disassembling. That means, once the original definition was removed or broken, new aesthetic principles are needed to govern the emancipated formal components. Perhaps Zaha’s biggest contribution to contemporary architecture is not only to associate the concepts of ‘fragmentation’ and ‘motion’, concepts which take form fundamentally in nature and are alive in human’s emotions, paradoxically together with the rather static architectural language of ‘permanence’, but also to give forms to these rather vague concepts by developing an architecture language to realise their constructional techniques.

  • 237 Luis Barragán and the Invention of Mexican
    LUIS BARRAGÁN AND THE INVENTION OF MEXICAN REGIONALISM Giulia Mela Università IUAV di Venezia / IUAV University of Venice, Venice Italy. Abstract The work of Luis Barragán (1902-1988) embodies Mexican identity, and the architect is considered one of the most important figures of the Critical Regionalism movement in Latin America. Nevertheless, a comprehensive analysis of his own private library–kept at the Barragan Foundation, Switzerland and Fundación de Arquitectura Tapatía Luis Barragán, Mexico–tells a different story. In fact, the contemporary critical reception of his work has a far more complex genesis, which might be summarised as follows: 1. Barragán, nemo propheta in patria. For many years, Barragán’s work was better known abroad than in his own country. The national recognition came in 1976, with the Premio Nacional de Ciencias y Artes, after an exhibition at the MoMA in New York. At that time, Barragán was a 74-year old architect that had realized some of his most famous projects, such as the Casa Barragán, Tlalpan Chapel, Cuadra San Cristóbal, and Casa Gilardi. 2. Barragán, forger of an independent path. The urban project for Jardines del Pedregal was the turning point of Barragán’s career, and from the mid-1940s the architect distanced himself from the research path of his colleagues. His detachment from the academic, political, and theoretical infrastructure allowed him to develop an autonomous language. 3. Barragán, a “visual” architect. Barragan defined his work as “autobiographical” and inspired by the colonial villages of his childhood. This is partially true; alongside Mexican architecture, the architect was deeply fond of the timeless aura of vernacular architecture in general.

  • SCÈNES DE NUIT – Excursus Into Nocturnal Obliteration In
    2021-4185-AJA 1 SCÈNES DE NUIT – Excursus into Nocturnal 2 Obliteration in Architectural Media 3 4 SCÈNES DE NUIT is a research project that explores the role of night in the 5 construction of contemporary cities and societies, illustrating how, still today, 6 architectural theory and critique are associated with sunlight and diurnal paradigms. 7 It is structured around the hypothesis that, since the 19th century, night has 8 transformed not only night-time but most importantly daytime activities and 9 architecture forever. The project addresses the technologies, networks and forms of 10 design deployed in nocturnal architectural spaces and their associated communities, 11 engaging with both local and global audiences through a broad network of 12 practitioners and theoreticians in architectural and night design, as well as experts 13 from different fields, such as sociology, economics, philosophy and media studies, that 14 are relevant to understanding the intersections between space, night and society at 15 large. Scènes de Nuit presents nocturnal encounters seeking to examine and reflect 16 upon the spaces, activities and media found in night culture, using evening events and 17 ephemeral scenography as the main presentation platform. Research is conducted in 18 various formats, temporalities and conditions, focusing on nocturnal architectural 19 spaces through, but not limited to, inhabited scenography, performative exhibitions, 20 international conferences, debates and screenings. Scènes de Nuit proposes that there 21 is no difference between format and content, between the production of nocturnal 22 knowledge and the scenography of night. 23 24 25 Exhibition at f’ar Lausanne, May 2019 26 27 For centuries, architectural theory, discourse and agency have been based 28 on daylight and solar paradigms.

  • Frank Gehry's Self-Twisting Uninterrupted Line: Gesture-Drawings As Indexes
    arts Article Frank Gehry’s Self-Twisting Uninterrupted Line: Gesture-Drawings as Indexes Marianna Charitonidou 1,2,3 1 Chair of the History and Theory of Urban Design, Institute for the History and Theory of Architecture (gta), Department of Architecture, ETH Zurich, Stefano-Franscini-Platz 5, CH 8093 Zürich, Switzerland; [email protected] or [email protected] 2 School of Architecture, National Technical University of Athens, 42 Patission Street, 106 82 Athens, Greece 3 Faculty of Art History and Theory, Athens School of Fine Arts, 42 Patission Street, 106 82 Athens, Greece Abstract: The article analyses Frank Gehry’s insistence on the use of self-twisting uninterrupted line in his sketches. Its main objectives are first, to render explicit how this tendency of Gehry is related to how the architect conceives form-making, and second, to explain how Gehry reinvents the tension between graphic composition and the translation of spatial relations into built form. A key reference for the article is Marco Frascari’s ‘Lines as Architectural Thinking’ and, more specifically, his conceptualisation of Leon Battista Alberti’s term lineamenta in order to illuminate in which sense architectural drawings should be understood as essential architectural factures and not merely as visualisations. Frascari, in Eleven Exercises in the Art of Architectural Drawing: Slow Food for the Architects’s Imagination, after having drawn a distinction between what he calls ‘trivial’ and ‘non- trivial’ drawings—that is to say between communication drawings and conceptual drawings, or drawings serving to transmit ideas and drawings serving to their own designer to grasp ideas during the process of their genesis—unfolds his thoughts regarding the latter.

Similarly, few know that this house, built in 1948, http://averyreview.com/issues/48/mi-casa. was not only Barragán’s residence but also the studio where he tested ideas and designed many of his best-known works. In 1982, reflecting on several of Barragán’s projects, American author and architectural historian Esther McCoy [1] In a letter to Barragán dated November 9, 1982, referred to his architecture as the result of a beautiful contradiction: that of a McCoy wrote, “How true you have always been to your genius, dear Luis. And in doing so I think that you above seeming calm that contained the effervescence of memories beneath.[1] And all others have been truer to Mexico. You celebrate Mexico with a Doric calmness; but infinite memories of indeed, visiting this house on General Francisco Ramírez Street in the historic place seem to seethe beneath the calmness.” McCoy working-class neighborhood of Tacubaya does reveal a contradiction, though to Luis Barragán, November 9, 1982, in Esther McCoy papers, 1876–1990, bulk, 1938–1989, Archives not the one pointed to by McCoy. of American Art (Washington, DC: Smithsonian In a 1987 interview by architecture critic Joseph Giovannini, Institution).
