Aug 5th, 2007

This model of the forthcoming Abu Dhabi Performing Arts Centre is probably the most spectacular of all the models in the show. Architecturally the project - which was announced earlier this year - marks a new direction for Hadid, with the building’s forms being variously described as resembling an internal organ or a pair of mating lizards.

    HEY ARCHITECTS! Did you know clothes come in other colours than black and spectacles come in other shapes than round? Immerse yourself in creativity! (Not you Zaha- your work is done- fabulous!)
