The HEYDAR ALIYEV CENTRE BY ZAHA HADID ARCHITECTS<\/span>, of course! Located in Baku<\/strong>, the capital of Azerbaijan<\/strong>, it is a monument to the country\u2019s rebirth after its independence from the Soviet influence in 1991. The specific structural characteristics are a tribute to Azerbaijan\u2019s willpower and its vision of the future.

ABOUT ZAHA HADID ARCHITECTS<\/h2>\n

\"zaha<\/a><\/p>\n

The firm was founded by Iraqi-British architect Zaha Hadid<\/span>, a pioneer woman in her field and became the first woman to be awarded the Royal Gold Medal<\/em> from the Royal Institute of British Architects<\/em>. Her style is highlighted by the building\u2019s features, particularly recognizable for the fluidity and lack of 90-degree angles, that make the HEYDAR ALIYEV CENTRE BY ZAHA HADID ARCHITECTS<\/strong><\/em><\/span> a symbol of the country\u2019s culture and optimistic attitude.<\/p>\n

THE HEYDAR ALIYEV CENTRE BY ZAHA HADID ARCHITECTS<\/h2>\n

\"Heydar<\/a><\/p>\n

The firm work \u2013 appointed in 2007 following a competition \u2013 creates a stark contrast with the adjacent buildings; the rigid Soviet-era edifices answered the call of Soviet Modernism. Instead, the HEYDAR ALIYEV CENTRE BY ZAHA HADID ARCHITECTS<\/strong><\/em><\/span> gladly demonstrates the heavily invested infrastructural and architecture modernisation: the concept behind the building was based on the continuity between the surrounding plaza and the interior, obtained thanks to fluid lines<\/em>, undulations<\/em>, and folds<\/em> that constitutes a different kind of welcome from the nearby cold facades \u2013 a warm-embracing welcome to the visitors to enter and discover the Azeri culture<\/span>.<\/p>\n

\"interior<\/a><\/p>\n

There is no dissimilarity between interior and exterior: every architectural piece is tiny tassel of a cultural transformation \u2013 a positive reminder of possibilities and opportunities \u2013 influenced by the past traditions of Azerbaijan: the rows and sequences of columns are directly connected to the historical Islamic tradition<\/span> of the place, while ornamental patterns run from the carpets to the ceiling, creating a visual monochromatic consistency.<\/p>\n

\"details<\/a><\/p>\n

The architect\u2019s skills are displayed by the original structure and with its lack of rigidity. Every line is ethereal, thanks to a space frame system that allows the specific free-form construction and ideal cladding materials, capable of rendering the plasticity effect of the building\u2019s design. The project takes advantage of the land topography and its terraced landscape and – with the application of semi-reflective glass – makes full use of the natural light during the day and transforms the HEYDAR ALIYEV CENTRE BY ZAHA HADID ARCHITECTS<\/strong><\/em><\/span> in a majestic spectacle during the night, when the interior becomes part of the exterior. A true example of architectural rediscovery and attention to cultural dynamics.<\/p>\n
