Introduction to Zaha Hadid

Just look at these sandals!!!!
Aren't they hot???
*drooool*


Sigh...these white plastic sandals are designed by extraordinaire Zaha Hadid, a seriously famous architect aka interior architect. Please jump over the balcony if you do not know her already.

If you are interested, these pretty chic sandals are available at Melisa store in May this year. I will definitely gonna grab a pair for myself! The price?
Hmmm...at this point, it does not matter anymore! I'll starve for these sandals!!


Melissa and Zaha Hadid collaborated to design not in making a shoe that looks like a building, but an organically sculptural piece of footwear. From indesignlive.com, Hadid explained that their footwear fluid design combined perfectlt with the technology of Melissa's plastic,injecting pieces withpit closures or seals, which strongly shows Hadid's organic architectural examples (Abu Dhabi Performing Arts Centre and The London Aquatic Centre). "The more than two year partnership between Melissa and Hadid was undoubtedly a creative pursuit for the Pritzker prize-winning architect "(indesignlive.com).

The following images are some examples of her architectural/design/conceptual styles. I just love her seamless and flowing design. Every plane seems to merge with each other creating a very harmonious experience.

Cube Me Project...to me this cube looks like a bitten apple...



A polycarbonate room in a hotel which I have forgotten the name..
Note: Do you realize that there are no light fittings in this room? All the lights are concealed but the room looks perfectly lit. Ah...the power of design...


Well this is the lady who inspires thousands of young designers to think more than just a building but to merge and integrate design ideas with something, anything and everything.

I can't wait for the day I will hold the tools to inspire the world with tasniimism!

Hehe.
