The Russian Revolutionary: Zaha Hadid

A very interesting and riveting watch. Shapes that seem somewhat randomly placed are not in consistent randomness. The shapes themselves work well as a universe within different scales. Zaha Hadid drew architectural forms from these random shapes as she did not believed they were placed with no purpose. Kazimir Malevich used the composition of shapes to create abstraction.
“We can only be aware of space if we break away from earth if the fulcrum disappears.” – Karmir Malevich
Zaha Hadid said by rotating the paintings, shapes would change, turning into architectural drawings. Duing Malevich’s third period (white period), he used the colour white to represent infinity, believing art was a religion. Malevich’s work allowed Zaha to expand her work and architectural form. Using it for inspiration for such things as ‘The Peak’ in Hong Kong.
Towards the end of Malevich’s life, he started to experiment with sculpture. Moving his 2D paintings into 3D models.
