{"product_id":"zaha-hadid-basic-art","title":"Zaha Hadid - Basic Art","description":"Even though she earned immense praise from critics, the revolutionary architect Zaha Hadid went for many years without constructing almost anything. Some critics even asserted that her daring, futuristic concepts were simply unbuildable. However, Hadid's audacious concepts eventually became physical realities in the later stages of her life. She introduced a novel architectural expression to vastly diverse structures and locations, such as the Rosenthal Center for Contemporary Art in Cincinnati—which The New York Times declared to be \"the most important new building in America since the Cold War\"—alongside the MAXXI Museum in Rome, the Guangzhou Opera House in China, and the London 2012 Aquatics Centre.\n\nBy the time of her sudden passing in 2016, Hadid had firmly established her presence among the global architectural elite as the inaugural female recipient of both the Pritzker Architecture Prize and the RIBA Royal Gold Medal. Above all, she was recognized as an originator of fresh forms and the first major architect of the 2000s.\n\nTracing her evolution from her early sharply angled edifices to her subsequent fluid architecture, where walls, floors, ceilings, and interior furnishings merge into a unified design scheme, this introductory volume highlights essential works from Hadid's trailblazing career. She was an architect as well as an artist who fought to dismantle traditional conventions and create her own 21st-century universe.\n\nAbout the Series: Established in 1985, the Basic Art Series has evolved into the best-selling art book collection ever published. Every volume in the TASCHEN Basic Architecture series provides: an introduction to the life and oeuvre of the architect; significant projects presented in chronological sequence; background regarding clients, architectural prerequisites, as well as construction difficulties and their resolutions; an overview list of all featured creations alongside a map marking the geographical spots of the finest and most famous buildings; and approximately 120 illustrations, comprising photographs, sketches, drafts, and architectural plans.","brand":"Taschen","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55984680993090,"sku":"3392","price":1230.0,"currency_code":"TRY","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0942\/5734\/8930\/files\/zaha-hadid-basic-art-mimari-ic-mimari-taschen-philip-jodidio-14082-33-O.jpg?v=1787595564","url":"https:\/\/lumiefilm.com\/products\/zaha-hadid-basic-art","provider":"LUMIE FILM","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
