CH 13 #2 Zaha Hadid Center for Contemporary Art vs. View of the southeast

The Zaha Hadid Center for Contemporary Art Had an attitude of “build it and they will come”. It is the first project in the united states to honor the architect Zaha Hadid. It has a blocky and very modern look to it and was a very expensive project to say the least. The building came to 27.5 million dollars.

The most interesting part of the building is most likely the stairs in the back of the building. The stairs are angled and very narrow. The exterior of the structure is amazing looking and has strips of windows in between the tetris-like blocks. It has a welcoming presence as Hadid wanted to accomplish. 


I love the different feeling it gives in both pictures. One of the pictures taken at night and one taken in the day. the day picture also only shows a one dementional view of one side of the building. It shows not lights and only small shades of grey on the exterior. The night picture shows all dimensions of the phenominal structure and the building looks almost alive.
