Summary:
Design as second nature, is the first exhibition in Latin America about the projects of Iraqi-British architect Zaha Mohammad Hadid (1950-2016), the first woman to receive the Pritzker Architecture Prize, in 2004. With models, audiovisual materials, paintings and photographs, the show deals with the creative process of its practice and demonstrates the importance and complexity of design as an articulating axis of forms and constructive processes in his work. Beyond the different types of buildings, the exhibition aims to show the work synergies of Zaha Hadid Architects (ZHA), their proposals to inhabit a common world and the link of nature with the creative processes that shape an organic design for the future.
