Zaha Hadid’s Architecture Foundation HQ: new images revealed
Detailed plans submitted to Southwark Council for consideration outline the design for the new building, situated on the corner of Southwark Street and Great Guildford Street.
Famed for her buildings including the Rosenthal Centre for Contemporary Art in Cincinnati, US and the BMW building in Leipzig, Germany, the Architecture Foundation will be the Pritzker Prize winner’s first public building to be built in the capital.
Scheduled to open in autumn 2008, the design of the building has evolved since Hadid won the international design competition run by Land Securities in January 2005.
The new diamond-like design, clad in polished stainless steel, will - claim developers - generate a striking new point of interest within the Bankside 123 development.
