Summary: Truly Dreadful Design
Review: Put simply, the design is cold, brutal, ignorant and devoid of any redeeming human qualities ... in short, it is representative of most of Hadid's oeuvre. That she appeals to so many younger people has more to do with flash computer graphics than any valuable lessons in architecture. This is kid's stuff, not the work of a sohisticated or intellectually mature architect. If you are the sort of person who is impressionable, this book is aimed at YOU. For an architectural education, try a book on Barragan, Scarpa, Renzo Piano, Fay Jones or almost any practitioner capable of actually constructing a well-designed building. This is graphic hogwash. Eye-candy for infant minds.
