We are happy and honored to invite you to Dekatur Club Private Screening of  the beautiful architectural work of Zaha Hadid  Saturday November 12 at 7pm.

Heydar Aliyev Center in Azerbaijan.

Dame Zaha Mohammad Hadid, 

31 October 1950 – 31 March 2016) was an Iraqi-born British architect.

She was the first woman to receive the Pritzker Architecture Prize, in 2004.She received the Stirling Prize in 2010 and 2011.

In 2012, she was created a Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire and in 2015 she became the first woman to be awarded the RIBA Gold Medal in her own right.

Hadid liberated architectural geometry with the creation of highly expressive, sweeping fluid forms of multiple perspective points and fragmented geometry that evoke the chaos and flux of modern life.[4] 

A pioneer of parametricism, and an icon of neo-futurism, with a formidable personality, her acclaimed work and ground-breaking forms include the aquatic center for the London 2012 Olympics, the Broad Art Museum in the U.S., and the Guangzhou Opera House in China.

 She developed a style called Parametricism, which relies on digital algorithms to respond to environmental parameters like sun, wind, gravity, and geology.

You can see it in the torqued, curved forms of buildings like Hadid’s never-to-be-built Olympic Stadium in Tokyo, whose rounded, white shell looked like smoke rushing over a car in a wind tunnel, and in the newly-completed Port House in Antwerp, Belgium, made of crystalline facets floating over an existing fire station.
