Zahu Hadid many are rightly called the genius of modern architecture, since each of its new projects is distinguished by its originality and extravagance. Today we will present to your attention a shopping and office center Opus Office Tower (Dubai), on the creation of which the bureau worked Zaha Hadid Architects … The 21-storey building, 93 meters high, is a giant cube with a cavity inside that seems to hover above the ground.
Zaha Hadid is known to the readers of the Culturology. Ru site thanks to a number of projects that we talked about earlier. The Iceberg Museum in Glasgow and the Theater of the Future in Changsha are futuristic in design and are some of the finest examples of Art Nouveau architecture. This time, the architect moved away from designing temples of art, and focused on a more "earthly" object. Opus Office Tower is a gigantic office space, on the ground floors of which a shopping center will be located, on the middle floors - private offices, and on the upper floors it is planned to equip a “peace zone” (swimming pools, gyms and recreation areas).
Opus Office Tower claims to be the main architectural landmark of the Middle East, although, of course, it is quite difficult to surprise residents and visitors of Dubai with skyscrapers. However, the new creation of Zaha Hadid has its own zest: the building, built of glass and concrete, is equipped with unique lighting, due to which it looks completely different at night and during the day. During the day, the cube is hollow, and at night this space is filled with light.
It is also planned to equip the ME hotel of the world-famous Melia hotel chain on the territory of the office complex. The work is expected to be completed by 2016.
