Zaha Hadid



Check out this crazy design by Zaha Hadid for a performing arts center in Abu Dhabi, UAE. Zaha Hadid is just one of the starchitects who designed a building for this arts supercomplex - Frank Gehry, Jean Nouvel and Tadao Ando each designed a museum as well. Hadid's performing arts center is somehow organic while still feeling very rigid - it looks like a series of capillaries and veins underneath a very thin skin. It will be interesting to see how the project is actually built.
