Zaha Hadid Sans
Greenspace’s new identity, typeface and website for Zaha Hadid Architects is inspired by the firm’s use of computer scripts and pattern generation in its pioneering work. ZHA is well known for its avant-garde approach to building design, which often incorporates computer generated patterning programs. Design studio and branding strategists Greenspace used some of these technical aspects to ZHA’s working process (including their use of parametric theory) into a new identity for the practice, in which a series of graphic shapes, structures and patterns are applied across the company’s communications material. “We set out to create a coherent brand and website for ZHA, one that would strengthen and reinforce the story of such a visionary practice,” says Adrian Caddy, founder and CEO of Greenspace. “We interviewed 30 of their senior associates and designers and asked them what they thought about their company.
This gave us a good basis on which we could base ideas and build our approach.” Greenspace developed the identity and the bespoke typeface, Zaha Hadid Sans, in collaboration with Hadid’s senior partner, Patrik Schumacher, and designer Miles Newlyn. “We deliberately didn’t want to create a brand identity that would be a pastiche of any of the ZHA created works,” adds Caddy. “We wanted the work to speak for itself, not be over-powered by its brand.” As part of the redesign, a new HTML5 website at was also created which serves as a vast digital archive of ZHA work, both built and conceptual.

The first woman to win the Pritzker Architecture Prize, and the first woman to be awarded the Royal Gold Medal by the Royal Institute of British Architects, she has now been bestowed w a special Google doodle in her honour.

Antwerp Port House. (Reuters/Thomas Peter) Seoul’s design plaza is a cultural hub composed of an art hall, museum, design lab, design market, and the Dongdaemun History and Culture Park. It hosts conventions, trade shows, exhibitions, fashion shows, concerts and other performances. The curvaceous structure's 38,000-square-metre complex is all soft lines and reflective surfaces.
Its unique design has also made it a major landmark in Seoul: it was the most Instagram-tagged location in all of Korea in 2015. The building initially generated strong debate over the merits of building an ultra-modern structure in such an historic area. (GLYN KIRK/AFP/Getty Images) This 619,000-square-foot cultural centre is located in Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan – and is also featured on some of the country’s stamps.
Built in 2012, the centre won the Design Museum of the Year award in 2014. The centre contains a museum, auditorium and multipurpose hall, and serves of the site of much of the country’s cultural programming. According to Hadid Architects, the building is intended to welcome, embrace, and direct visitors through all of its undulating floors. Human rights groups, however, have claimed that as many as 250 homes were cleared to make room for the building, and many residents were forcibly evicted. Guangzhou opera house.
