Haute Living<\/em> cover star Zaha Hadid<\/strong> recently added this incredible structure in Baku, Azerbaijan to her design portfolio. Zaha Hadid Architects completed the Heydar Aliyev Centre as a modern cultural center composed of fluid and reflective surfaces, a place for concerts, exhibitions, conventions and more.<\/p>\n

Glass fiber panels and concrete join together to create wave-like walls with curved glass windows, and the space offers well-placed outdoor lighting to accentuate the building’s shape.<\/p>\n

Inside and out, the structure pays homage to traditional Islamic architecture in the form of fluid columns and ornamental patterns.<\/p>\n

To support this unique modern design, structural support is provided by a space frame system and concrete structure to allow for plenty of open interior space without supportive columns.<\/p>\n
