Zaha Hadid Architects (ZHA) has opened its new exhibition - called Global Design Laboratory - at the Songshan Cultural and Creative Park in Taipei, Taiwan, presenting highly-stylistic and well-crafted models with several images of the studio's recent projects. A worth-seeing model show of Zaha Hadid Architects can be visited at the Songshan Cultural and Creative Park between July 8 - October 10, 2017.

ZHA's exhibition gives an overview and cross section of the recent and current work of ZHA including built and unbuilt architectural works, furniture and product design. 

The experimental designs of our research group CODE (Computational Design) are also showcased, together with the work of ZHA’s Virtual Reality Group that seamlessly transitions the practice’s digitised design work into immersive prototypical space. 

"Zaha Hadid Architects transform notions of what can be achieved in concrete, steel, and glass; combining an unwavering optimism for the future and belief in the power of invention with concepts of urban and social connectivity – creating projects that stand as symbols of social progress and culture," said Zaha Hadid Architects.

"Zaha Hadid insisted that we expand the boundaries of our discipline, our understanding and our knowledge, while at the same time cultivating humanism."

"Our primary focus is on contributing to human well-being that includes a vibrant civic life. Using social functionality as our starting point and key driver of all our design ambition and decisions, once a design concept is established we look carefully at all technical requirements and optimisations derived from advanced methodologies and technologies."

"The development of 3D Building Information Modelling (BIM) in the design, construction and operations of ZHA’s buildings dramatically increases construction certainty and efficiency," explained the studio.

Zaha Hadid was one of World Architecture Community's first Members (since 2007) and the studio has recently won World Architecture Community Awards in the 25th Cycle with two projects; the Mathematics: The Winton Gallery in United Kingdom and the Port House in Belgium. 

Zaha Hadid Architects also won World Architecture Community Awards in 23rd Cycle with the Messner Mountain Museum Corones in Italy and the Investcorp Building, Middle East Centre At St Antonys College, University Of Oxford.
