    Contemporary Architecture: Gehry

    Uploaded by

    hitesh sawant
    Zaha Hadid designed the Heydar Aliyev Cultural Centre in Baku, Azerbaijan as a landmark building to house a conference hall, library, and museum. The design features her signature curving, elongated structures characterized by powerful forms and fragmented geometry. The building is located near the city center and is intended to play an integral role in Baku's intellectual life and redevelopment. All functions are represented by a single continuous folded surface that both connects spaces and provides each with its own identity.

    CONTEMPORARY ARCHITECTURE

    Contemporaryarchitectureis definable broadly as the building style of the


    present day. Examples do not necessarily have similar or easily recognizable
    features, however, because the "style" is really quite varied and has a number of
    different influences. Even though a precisedefinitionof the term is difficult to
    articulate,contemporaryhomes typically include an irregular or unusually shaped
    frame, an open floor plan, oversized windows, and the use of "green" and
    repurposed components. Such homes also often have an organic design, fitting
    into the surrounding space and meeting an immediate need in the area.
    Prominentcontemporaryarchitects include FrankGehry, who designed the
    Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao; John Andrews, who designed the CN Tower in
    Montreal; and Jean Nouvel, who designed the Quai Branly Museum in Paris.

    All functions of the Centre, together with
    entrances, are represented by fold sin as ingle
    continuous surface. This fluid form gives an
    opportunity to connect the various cultural
    spaces whilst, at the same time, providing each
    element of the Centre with its own identity and
    privacy. As it folds inside ,the skin erodes away
    to become an element of the interior landscape
    of the Cultural Centre.
