    Zaha Hadid's vision never fails to inspire and makes you question how she and the studio was able to execute such obscure designs. This reminds me of cellular structures from above. The interior is equally mind-numbing once you realize the intricacy and boldness of an idea flawlessly executed. The construction team deserves an applause because this project is a beast.

      @@justinjake258 Zaha is a visionary architect and passed on too soon. In a world dominated by prominent male (st)architects, she created a design language that is remarkably fluid, organic, and sculptural which consequently solidified her as a icon in architecture. It's evident Zaha Hadid- the studio- comprised of new talent and designers is continuing her design legacy. This is similar to a fashion house adopting a "new" designer to continue the brand. Zaha Hadid is now a brand with the backing of a studio.

      you know ? Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦 is one of the best producers of medical/surgical and protection supplies
      and they help a lot during this covid19 crisis they donate a lot of products made out of petroleum substances
      like gloves 🧤 and very important tubes for breathing machines for example .. and they saving a lot of lives and helping the doctors and nurses return safe to their beloved ones !
      Oil isn’t not about diesel or gas ⛽️ only it helped a lot in how we are living now and yes some products surely isn’t so eco friendly but anything we consume more can be harmful to our planet now one of the biggest threats isn’t oil or cars it’s actually cows farts and nitrogen compounds which used in agriculture yea vegan or not it’s ridiculous and we should read through the lines and thanks 🙏🏼

    *Beautiful architecture.* Definitely not organic in shape. Maybe too soon or too early for history.
