the philadelphia museum of art is holding its first retrospective exhibition of the small scale objects and
furniture pieces created by london-based zaha hadid architects throughout the course of her career.
made out of polystyrene and vinyl graphics, it immerses visitors in the essence of hadid’s creations
as it mirrors the forms and curvatures often found in her work. to expand the height of the
perelman building, perspective lines were placed on the ground, giving the illusion of depth
and assisting the flow through the space. the works on display include everything from clothing
and jewelry to furniture pieces and lights, all designed by the architect herself.
