Week 1: Zaha Hadid - Burnham Pavillion

Burnham Plan Centennial, Chicago, Usa
Year: 2009
Site: 500m2
Footprint: 200m2
Pavillion designed and erected in Chicago’s Millenium Park as part of the Burnham Plan celebrations reflecting the tradition of embracing the cutting edge architecture in an intricate but fluid structure that incorporates hidden traces of Burnham and Bennett’s original 1909 plans to redevelop the city.


Composition and Concept
Intricate bent-aluminium frame shaped and welded to create a unique curvilinear form.
Outer and inner fabrics wrapped tightly around the interior frame to create a distinctively fluid shape. The skins also serve as screens for video installations.
Designed and built to maximize recycling and re-use of materials to be reused in other locations.
