Architecture Digest



OK I have to admit that I haven't been posting anything cuz of them horrible project deadlines...anyway as this is out now.....I will introduce my latest passion and craze ...ARCHITECTURE!!!!.....yeah I never saw that coming and I've been flicking through interior dsign websites and buying dozens of dubai property/homedesign magazines..... and now I'm thinking of makeovering my room......but before going further I had to post this....I'm really inspired by this AMAZING Iraqi architecture designer called Zaha Hadid....who is a genius.....watch and enjoy the breathtaking work of hers....






This was made for Chanel here is an explanaion of what it is exactly:


"The architectural structure of the Pavilion is a series of continuous arch-shaped elements, with a courtyard in its central space. The glazed ceiling adjusts to allow for control of the interior temperature in response to the particular climate conditions of each venue city."

"Natural light descending from seven elements on the ceiling, meets artificial light pushed up from gap between the walls and raised floor to emphasize the “arched” structure, and assists in the creation of a new artificial landscape for art installations."


This is another state-of-the-art building she's doing in the capital for Abu Dhabi Performance Arts Centre....I like :)



I love her extravagant style yet kind of "jetsons" take on buildings.
My next post will be on what I'm planning to do for my room!
