Zaha Hadid unveils the Forest of Towers in London


Following on from Zaha Hadid’s acclaimed retrospective at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York, the London based practice has announced the unveiling of the installation Forest of Towers at a new temporary space on Holmes Road London NW5. This elegantly extensive structure, close to 25 metres in length and 2 metres in width, flirts with both scale and structure in a masterful demonstration of manipulation and intervention. Its surface, punctuated by eleven scale sculptures, displays a myriad of architectural projects undertaken by Hadid and her studio. Projects featured include: The Dubai Dancing Tower, Olympic Aquatic Center, Moscow River Tower, Singapore Guggenheim, Basel Casino and the Architecture Foundation London.
