in collaboration with patrick schumacher, the installation lotus at the corderie dell arsenale shows the space of the room in transience and fluctuating between two extreme states, conceived as a fragmented enclosure that can be compressed and expanded into areas for resting, sitting, storage, and browsing.

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
