Zaha Hadid 1/23/15

Zaha Hadid is a Iraq-British architect.  I first saw some of her work in class this past week. I found the works that were shown to be very interesting. Architecture is something that truly confuses me. I don't do math or shapes or any of that stuff very well. People that can sketch something and bring it to life in a building that people go into, work in, and sell things in is a talent. It is not something everyone can do. One of Zahas first buildings is The Ski Jump (2002) and sits in Austria. The reason I find her work so interesting is because I cannot understand it. She doesn't only just do buildings, she also does interior spaces, furniture, as well as artwork. One of her couches sold for 1.9 million dollars. While I really enjoy the second photo in this list of photos, it seems confusing to the eye. What I like about it is the contrasting of black and white. The third photo, belongs to the future building; The Ronald McDonald house. It holds 11 bedrooms designed by Zaha, to hold the parents and families of children that are sick at a nearby hospital. While all the rooms look completely different and very futuristic, I strangely enjoy them. They are sleek, clean and crisp. Each room is completely different, with a different genre. One thing that makes me cringe however, the beds don't look comfy and it looks somewhat cold. Overall, I truly respect her work.
