In my blog I Often traces Zaha hadid’s Inspiration Sources.

In this post I propose to define three groups of Zaha hadid‘s projects.

Each group of buildings has its unique inspiration characteristics.

1.   The Contemporary organic Style –  Inspired by characterized forms occurring in nature

 Zaha Hadid Architects

Abu Dhabi Performing Arts Centre

Published February 2007  in Dezeen

Zahah Hadid’s description for the Abu Dhabi Performing Arts Centre: “a sculptural form that emerges from a linear intersection of pedestrian paths within the cultural district, gradually developing into a growing organism that sprouts a network of successive branches”.

Note that the  art nouveau style is characterized by forms occurring in nature

Note the morphological similarities between Zaha Hadid’s organic Configuration of the Abu Dhabi Performing  Arts Centre and the art nouveau detail In aParisian Metro stationentrance.

2. geometric abstract Style – Inspired by Kazimir Malevich  geometric abstract art

in my Facebook

“Conscious Inspiration” the ultimate inspiration methodology

 Knowledge”:  as many said, and wrote before – Knowledge is the foundation for all designing processWe architects and designers are obliged to be informed about everything that was designed in the past and on a daily basis….

“Tools”:  develop tools to analyze buildings and “Understand” them,  tools that will cope with the abundance of architectural information

“Invention”:  with the methodology of “conscious Inspiration” we don’t need to be intimidated to get inspired from relevant buildings.  Once we develop our tools, it will lead us to high quality and creative architecture
