Zaha Hadid , She is one og the most famous female architects in our time. She is an architect who consistently pushes the boundaries of architecture and urban design.  She is the firs and only female architect who got Prizker Architecture Prize in 2004. She was born Oct.31, 1950 in Baghdad, Iraq.  Whe studied Mathematics in American University of Beirut. Then She Moved to study at The ARchitectural Association School of Architecture in London.  She was working with Rem Koolhass who is her former teacher. ( I posted Rem Koolhass’s work in my previous post. ^^)  She became a partner in OMA in 1977. She is currently Progessor at the Univerity of Applied Art Vienna in Austria.

Zaha Hadid, i have to say she uses curved line so well. She uses it so beutifully that make her spaces or objects like an art piece. very feminine and at the same time very futuristic. 

This Kitchen was designed by Zaha Hadid

During Design Week in Milan, Zaha Hadid created a futuristic kitchen setting out of DuPont Corian. The Z-Island Kitchen included two main units, one associated with “fire,” which housed the cooktop, and one associated with “water,” which had the sink and dishrack. In addition to these fairly basic functions, the “sensory- responsive kitchen environment” had multimedia sound and video equipment embedded into the islands, all of which could be controlled with a central touch panel. The modular wall storage featured a coating that gave it “advanced sound and light diffusion capabilities” to enhance the overall experience of being in the room

This Z-Island Kitchen seems cool but too futuristic to me. too white. it seems it will be perfectly fits in movie called ” The Island”  by the way i never liked the movie. actually the movie sucks….

This car is designed by Zaha Hadid.

I didn’t know Zaha Hadid also designed a car until i write this post.-,.-  (shame)

when i reserched about Z- Car, She alread exhibited at the Guggenhein Museum in New York 2006

and also exhibited at London Design museum 2007.  (makes me feel more shame…-,.-)

i don’t know what to say about Z-car except very futuristic. 

Some time too futuristic things scares me.

( sorry about i don’t have the sideview picture here -,.-)  very simple but very elegant.

Hotel Perta America is in Madrid, Sapain.

Most hotels’ guest rooms are almost same except suits.

but this hotel’s guest rooms are designed by famous architects. u can have such a unique experience in each room.

it is like a minimalist museum. i never been this hotel yet, but when i have a chance it will be difficult to decide which guest room will i stay. ^^

I’m going to try to make money with this blog so that i can stay at that hotel.

Ando Tadao is one of the famous Japanese Architect. His buildings look very minimalism and simple.

most of his buildings are built with concrete walls but he uses it well with nature such as water, light and sky.

He creates beautiful contrast with lights.

what is so great about him is he is self -taught. He was a boxing player before, but he was always interested in architect so he travels around and learn and experience. i really respect that. a lot of people just try to get in good schools and finish up to earn nice title of degree either they like it or not. But Ando Tadao made himself as one of the best architect in the world with his passion and his dream. i can’t wait to have a spacial experience in his amazing buildings.

First time I saw this swiming pool in the magazine i was amazed by the design.

This swiming pool is such a simple design but very unique. I think it is very well designed. The Ocean horizon in the background and the swiming pool not only go well together but also the two different layers of water gives me an amazing feeling. It is beutiful. I love this design.

Also very nice photography. The shot with a little girl in the swiming pool creates a more unique feeling. - The photographer is Roberto Huarcaya-
