venice architecture biennale 08: next-gene 20 - zaha hadid
rendering of 'symbiotic villa'
'symbiotic villa' and 'next- gene architecture museum' are two of the projects that UK architect zaha hadid
designed for the taiwanese next gene 20 project as part of this year's venice architectural biennale.
the 'symbiotic villa' is situated in northern taipei amongst green vegetation. a distinct character of
the building is its cone like shapes that sit in the ground. the conic systems allow flexible open floor
plans and panoramic views of the landscape. each cone provides interior and exterior spaces within
the villa. the top floor consists of outdoor terraces and balconies. the cones work both as a circulation
device and a structural system.

'next-gene architecture museum'
located on the end corner of a steep sloping hill in ao di, northern taipei is the 'next-gene architecture museum'.
conic walls are part of the structural system that allows for ventilation. the perforated patterns on the buildings
exterior provide natural light for the museum's interior.

the main idea behind the design draws on the power of erosion and the movement of water, which is depicted by the undulating forms found both inside and outside.
