Chez Zaha


Everything in the Zaha Hadid exhibition at the Guggenheim Museum looks as if it’s about to take off up the spiral ramp and catapult through the skylight in the rotunda. What makes the show even better is knowing that it’s all the vision of a ham-fisted 55-year-old Iraqi-born British woman, the first woman recipient of the Pritzker Architecture Prize.

Better than her paintings, plans, and models, however, is a stunningly futuristic kitchen that comprises multimedia equipment, sound actuators and LEDs within a flowing shell of DuPont Corian. I guess that means I don’t have to stop blogging when I am frying up some eggs and bacon.
