I'm must say I don't really understand all the fuss around Hadid

Is it just me that thinks her lines and use of round corners ect. is just an old-fashion romantic take on futuristic architecture?
art student, norway   04.10.08
It's more so the process of her designing that is fascinating! Have you seen her drawings?

sensual architecture for a museum! Great Architecture!

apart from zaha being the best, it is a great thing for the baltic states. estonia already has a substantial modern arts museum, latvia has none and lithuania is soon to have this wonderful zaha's creation!

Dear Art student, Norway,

...I think you're just being cynical about Zaha Hadid, take another look at her works more properly with a positive frame of mind...it's more than just a mere futuristic form and rounded edges.

well, I think this project look too much like a tacky pair of oakley-sunglasses...
art student, norway   04.21.08
the reason zaha's project was chosen is that the inside structure of this object is greatly organised as well as magical interiors

Zaha has successfully integrating the exterior design (envelope) to the interior design (contents). As i saw on the interior daylighting. It's express architecture honestly!
