Zaha’s office have sent us movie footage (at bottom of story) of Metapolis II - a ballet that is opening at the Lincoln Center in New York next week featuring stage designs by the architect and choreography by Frederic Flamand, the artistic director of the Ballet National de Marseille. There will be three performances on 25, 26 and 27 July. Read the rest of this entry »

Here is a (rather poor quality since she was a long way from where we were sitting) video of Zaha speaking at the private dinner held in her honour at the Design Museum after the opening of her exhibition on 28 June. Zaha talks at length about her experiences over the years and the early days of her office in London. The actual movie is below. See also our video of Design Museum director Deyan Sudjic’s speech.

The VIP dinner held in the Blueprint Cafe after the private view of the show the other week was a wonderful occasion, and was rounded off by entertaining and insightful speeches by Design Museum director Deyan Sudjic and Zaha herself.

Here’s Deyan’s speech first (see below for the movie - it’s a large file so takes a while to load) in which he talks about the Zaha show as well as his future plans for the museum. We’ll put Zaha’s speech up soon. Read the rest of this entry »

Above is a still from the movie; the actual movie is below. Read the rest of this entry »
