venice architecture biennale 08: zaha hadid

zaha hadid and patrick schumacher showed the installation 'lotus' at the corderie dell’arsenale.
the space of the room is in transience and fluctuates between two extreme states -
conceived as a fragmented enclosure that can be compressed and expanded into areas for resting,
sitting, storage, and browsing. furniture and architecture become integrated and mobile as the
various part are released from their compact configuration to reveal a mobile desk with chair,
a bed, shelving a wardrobe and room divider, and an end table.
see our preview with drawings of the project
