Studio London Zaha Hadid, founder of Zaha Hadid Architects, was awarded the Pritzker 10 Bowling Green Lane Architecture Prize (considered to be the Nobel Prize of architecture) in 2004 and London EC1R 0BQ is internationally known for her built, theoretical and academic work. Each of T +44 20 7253 5147 her dynamic and pioneering projects builds on over thirty years of exploration F +44 20 7251 8322 and research in the interrelated fields of urbanism, architecture and design. [email protected] www.zaha-hadid.com Born in Baghdad, Iraq in 1950, Hadid studied mathematics at the American University of Beirut before moving to London in 1972 to attend the Architectural Introduction Association (AA) School where she was awarded the Diploma Prize in 1977. She founded Zaha Hadid Architects in 1979 and completed her first building, the Vitra Fire Station, Germany in 1993. Hadid taught at the AA School until 1987 and has since held numerous chairs and guest professorships at universities around the world. She is currently a professor at the University of Applied Arts in Vienna and visiting professor of Architectural Design at Yale University. Working with senior office partner, Patrik Schumacher, Hadid’s interest lies in the rigorous interface between architecture, landscape, and geology as her practice integrates natural topography and human-made systems, leading to innovation with new technologies. The MAXXI: National Museum of 21st Century Arts in Rome, Italy and the London Aquatics Centre for the 2012 Olympic Games are excellent manifestos of Hadid’s quest for complex, fluid space. Previous seminal buildings such as the Rosenthal Center for Contemporary Art in Cincinnati and the Guangzhou Opera House in China have also been hailed as architecture that transforms our ideas of the future with new spatial concepts and dynamic, visionary forms.

1 – Advanced Studio VI – Something of Value – Beijing, China – Solomonoff – Spring 2019
Advanced Design Studio VI Something of Value Arguments for Architecture as Value Proposition Beijing, China Spring 2019 Graduate School of Architecture Planning and Preservation Columbia University Galia Solomonoff, critic Galia Solomonoff, AIA [email protected], www.solomonoff.com Kinne Trip to Beijing, China Trip Dates 4 or 5 nights in March 12 to 22, exact dates TBD Studio Parameters: Client: Our studio will design for an assumed “client,” who is a wealthy graduate from GSAPP with a combined degree in Architecture, Real Estate, and Critical Studies. Upon returning to his native Beijing, our “client” is put in charge of a company comparable to SOHO of China, headquartered in Beijing. Project: Our studio project is to design a building(s) as a “gift” to the city of Beijing, which would allow the client’s company development rights somewhere else. Program: The company owns millions of square feet of real estate around the world, the majority of which is commercial office space. With commercial office space currently shifting towards sharing types (wework, knotel, incubators, navy yard) the client wishes to experiment with new hybrids that combine work, art, commerce and education. The exact program is left undefined. Yet the mission is states: design something of value…What does it mean to design something of value? Value to whom? Zaha Hadid Architects, Galaxy Soho Beijing, 2015 Site: The exact site is to be determined. It must be in the proximity of Zaha Hadid’s Galaxy and Kengo Kuma’s Santilun Soho, in the Sanlitun area of Beijing. 1 – Advanced Studio VI – Something of Value – Beijing, China – Solomonoff – Spring 2019 Kengo Kuma Architects, Sanlitun Soho, Beijing, 2016 Method The studio shall be divided into 3 segments; • Research (01 weeks – Jan 24 to Jan 30) • Argument (01 weeks – Jan 31 to Feb 4) • Design (12 weeks – Feb 5 to May 1) Research: Drawing from an array of contemporary and historical examples, our research concentration will be to examine the idea of value in Architecture and the contexts of Art and Real Estate.

HEYDER ALIYEV CENTRE, Azerbaijan Zaha Hadid Architects Background in 2013, the Heydar Aliyev Center Opened to the Public in Baku, the Capital of Azerbaijan
HEYDER ALIYEV CENTRE, Azerbaijan Zaha Hadid Architects Background In 2013, the Heydar Aliyev Center opened to the public in Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan. The cultural center, designed by Zaha Hadid, has become the primary building for the nation's cultural programs, aspiring instead to express the sensibilities of Azeri culture and the optimism of a nation that looks to the future. This report presents a case study of the project. It will include the background information, a synopsis of the architect's mastery of structural design. Also, some special elements of this building will be discussed in detail. And the structural design of the whole complex will be reviewed through diagrams and the simplified computer-based structural analysis. The Heydar Aliyev Center Since 1991, Azerbaijan has been working on modernizing and developing Baku’s infrastructure and architecture in order to depart from its legacy of normative Soviet Modernism. The center is named for Heydar Aliyev, the leader of Soviet-era Azerbaijan from 1969 to 1982, and President of Azerbaijan from October 1993 to October 2003. The project is located in the center of the city. And it played an extremely important role in the development of the city. It breaks from the rigid and often monumental Soviet architecture that is so prevalent in Baku. More importantly, it is a symbol of democratic philosophy thought. Under the influence of the new Azerbaijan party and the Soviet Socialist Republic of Azerbaijan leader’s political and economic reform, the center was also designed to show the potential of the country’s future cultural development, to encourage people to study the history, language, culture, national creed and spiritual values of their own country.

Zaha Hadid Profile
Biography Zaha Hadid, founder of Zaha Hadid Architects, was awarded the Pritzker Architecture Prize (considered to be the Nobel Prize of architecture) in 2004 and is internationally known for her built, theoretical and academic work. Each of her dynamic and innovative projects builds on over thirty years of revolutionary exploration and research in the interrelated fields of urbanism, architecture and design. Hadid’s interest lies in the rigorous interface between architecture, landscape, and geology as her practice integrates natural topography and human-made systems, leading to experimentation with cutting- edge technologies. Such a process often results in unexpected and dynamic architectural forms. The MAXXI: National Museum of 21st Century Arts in Rome, Italy and the London Aquatics Centre for the 2012 Olympic Games are excellent demonstrations of Hadid’s quest for complex, fluid space. Previous seminal buildings such as the Hoenheim Nord Terminus in Strasbourg, Rosenthal Center for Contemporary Art in Cincinnati and the Guangzhou Opera House in China have also been hailed as architecture that transforms our vision of the future with new spatial concepts and bold, visionary forms. Zaha Hadid Architects continues to be a global leader in pioneering research and design investigation. Collaborations with corporations that lead their industries have advanced the practice’s diversity and knowledge, whilst the implementation of state-of-the- art technologies have aided the realization of fluid, dynamic and therefore complex architectural structures. Currently Hadid is working on a multitude of projects worldwide including: High-Speed Train Stations in Naples and Durango; the Fiera di Milano masterplan and tower as well as major master-planning projects in Beijing, Bilbao, Istanbul and Singapore.

Each year, SHARE Forum has been in pursuit of excellence in the fields of architecture and construction, improving the quality and the complexity of its dynamic events with every edition. We took on the mission to find ways to communicate, share and exchange values, know- how and examples of good practices between East and West. With the idea in mind of an inclusive, free and conscious professional environment to work in, to represent architectural excellence in our built environment, and to open the possibility to work and create better in a context that benefits from administrative, political and investor’s support. At the same time, we believe that there is an unused potential of expression in the architectural profession in Central and Eastern European region and that architects could benefit from more representativeness on a European and global level achieved through proper means of communication and networking. On the prerequisite of this active community of participants and speakers, we decided to set the premises of an international Society of architects - SHARE Society that will enhance the connectivity between its members within a structure where experiences, ideas, and excellence are sharing. SHARE Society, an exclusive group to honor its members for the exceptional work and contributions within SHARE Community during the time.

Summary Review
Archivolta 1(57)2013 Summary Review ____________________________________________________ ®Archivolta Publishing House Michal Stepien Krystyna Januszkiewicz, Mateusz Zwierzycki, Sensitive skin of Al Bahar Towers in Abu Dhabi, UAE pp. 10-23 Aedas Abu Dhabi and Arup London The Al Bahar Towers innovative dynamic façade opens and closes in response to the movement of the sun, reducing solar gain by more than 50 percent, creating a more comfortable internal environment for occupants and producing a distinctive external aesthetics which helps to define the building as a gateway to the UAE capital. The façade was conceived as a contemporary inter- pretation of the traditional Islamic “mashrabiya” a popular form of wooden lattice screen found in vernacular Islamic architecture and used as a device for achieving privacy. The design concept for Aedas’ innovative competition winning design is derived from an algorith- mic composition, informed by Islamic principles of design, that has been supplemented by the application of a dynamic translucent ‘mashrabiya’ which opens and closes in response to the movement of the sun. The resulting composition seeks to create a building which is both cultura- lly and environmentally responsive, reflecting the aspirations of the brief while also respecting the emergent Abu Dhabi 2030 Plan. The building is targeting a LEED Silver rating and is on program-me for occupation at the beginning of 2013. In order to generate the form of the towers, Aedas applied the principles of geometric compo- sition derived from traditional Islamic architecture. Geometric composition has been a defining characteristic of Islamic architecture for centuries, the circle and rotation reflecting the concept of unification and unity evident in nature; an important concept in Islam and in the emerging science of biomimicry.
