"Mobile buildings and museums could adorn the cities of the future, renowned architect Zaha Hadid said during the launch of her latest project in Hong Kong -- a nomadic, UFO-shaped art pavilion.
The curved, fluid creation by Hadid was assembled in Hong Kong on the first leg of a two-year global promotional tour for contemporary art inspired by luxury goods brand Chanel.
"I really believe in the idea of the future," said Iraqi-born Hadid, known for her futuristic designs.
"The idea of temporary or mobile pieces could be a way of regenerating the city in an interesting way through architecture," she told reporters in Hong Kong."
how far would mobile accessories contribute to city regeneration? how would we prevent it from becoming a bidding game? like the olympics? what if we used architecture as a weapon? contributing more to city degeneration by denial than promoting actual changes in cities who want change?
a zaha is like jewellery though. which pompous arrogant bastard of a city wouldn't want to have his or her own piece of zaha? oh zaha! you are babylon personified!
