Zaha Hadid is an award-winning architect whose work has been featured in trade publications a lot as of late. Or so it seems.

Hadid was the designer of Chanel’s odd-looking traveling exhibit which debuted in Hong Kong last month. In any event, Zaha Hadid was commissioned to design Campus de la Justicia the new civil court building in Madrid, Spain. The proposed 800,000 square foot building features a spiraling semi-circular atrium that sits over an interior public courtyard. 

 

 

Made of metallic panels, this double-ventilated envelope is a dynamic, moving component that will respond to the environment by opening and closing.We only have an abstract understanding based on the architect’s website, but it sounds like heating, cooling and ventilation will all be moderated and controlled through this intelligent façade. On the roof, these metal panels will include integrated photovoltaic cells". The proposed 74,500 square meter (~800,000 square foot) building features a spiraling semi-circular atrium that overlooks an interior public courtyard. This space is meant to draw visitors and connect the building with the surrounding campus. The atrium also brings natural light down through the building and into court rooms. (inhabitat)
