Zaha Hadid at the Guggenheim (Rating 5 av 5)
» Jonas Adolfsen
Buying this book at the exhibition at the Guggenheim museum in New York felt natural after spending hours looking at her drawings, paintings, models, movie interviews and products, and the book did'nt dissapoint me. Maybe except for lacking a few versions of her biggest paintings, but it does not matter so much.
Even if you might be unsure that Zaha Hadid, the first female Pritzker price winner may have architecture that is new to the architect world, this book is a very fine overview of her production. And even if you might not find the similarities between her presentations of a building, her paintings, her models and the building itself, this book presents her in a good way and lets you study her architecure on paper and her techniques.
The book itself is good quality with most of it in thick, black pages (this makes the book bigger and containg less than you would belive when you see it), and it feels good to read. Can be recommended.
