Zaha Hadid's only house finally completes in Russian forest 

Jerome Owen so fcking trueee man...zaha can only dream about it if the engineers cannot get the works done. Hats off to the engineers!

silmen92 The construction marketing Industry is fake. These Architects don't no anything these days. A scrible on a piece of paper then they pass it to the Engineers to do the unthinkable.

@@alchemistlogic9421 idk in what country you're living but thats not exactly true.

Engineers are as good but the architect is everything. Without the architect this would be a bunch of cubes. Zaha Hadid made history and her legacy will live on as she inspired every Architect in the world with her amazing, impossible and futuristic designs.

@@alchemistlogic9421 Funny thing that's the hard part, creativity is what makes most people famous or wealthy.

Justin Sprecher nah man

Wow! Powerful

I admire engineers more than any profession on earth. They are marvelous

@Yusuf patel There is a saying which goes like this; 'It is easier said than done'.

Actually that isn't true, just as architects seek architectural challenges engineers do too. It's difficult for them but good engineers enjoy the challenge and associated achievement :)

it would be great, but russians oligarchs dont want to show how much money they stole from people.

comon, all know about their money already when just them fk dogs travels by private jet. they just dont give a sht about it.

@@michelbesedin7081 Just like US Capitalists run off to private Islands after looting your money through WallStreet????

Hey yeah just after saying how livable I was eagerly looking for interior shot, out from the fade to black ! But there was shot of the front of the yacht, all white inside, with those HUGE windows looking out into the area, seems it'd warm the heart in the cold morning :)

Its a graphics, bullshit

Yea, too bad they have not shown basicly nothing from the house, only part of the outside view... :-/ Mostly some general marketing bullshit...

All her designs look futuristic.

it looks a bit like these star destroyers in the starwars prequels

Looks like an over-sized plastic toy.

Exactly, how one moves inside, walls, stairways. Wonder why they omitted that?

kyle nicholson spot-on!)))

are u fuking out of your mind

yes

Can this house actually fly because it is aerodynamic?

HAHAHAHAH

And what is it that makes your opinion worthy of my time?

@Sam K Actually, thought it was pretty funny. See, that's the thing about jokes; they're SUBJECTIVE.

@@eddorvil586 See the thing about assholes is they don't think they're assholes. You're an asshole.

Why not. Just take a look at not so old Soviet abandoned buildings. Thousands of them are abandoned and forgotten. If the “Buran”’s hangar in Kazakhstan is abandoned too, what we can speak about... (Buran - Russian space shuttle analog). And it costed i don’t know many millions of dollars and was way more meaningful than that weird billionaire house. If the next Russian leader will be like Gorbachev or Elcin that can become true easy.

@@garystat the fact that you took the time to read it, think about it, and then reply....

Doesn't mean it's not ugly af

Yah but where's the fucking need for this

Doronin probably does not care about the environmental impact and about ordinary peoples life. He just wants a fancy design. Hadid focussed on clients where the budget and the efficiency did not matter. There is a social housing by Hadid in Vienna /Austria, which is a walking sculpture like all of Hadids work. Nobody wants to live and pay rent there, because the apartments are inefficient. I am fine with the idea of having the home above the trees, but the form and constellation of the pillars does not make sense in way of an efficient structure. And look how much space is wasted around the building, which had to be robbed from the nature. When it comes to a building in the mid of a forest I would more opt for an efficient lightweight structure made of natural sustainable material, not cladding of hyper expensive double curved aluminium panels. It is always preferable to choose a form that easily goes with the features of a material, not one that makes it difficult. For a building type like this I better get inspired by Calatrava, Buckminster Fuller, Frei Otto, or Shigeru Ban instead of the formalist Hadid. She is a great sculpturer, but it is permitted to criticize her

Thomas Herzig it is permitted to criticize anyone if you know what you are talking about. In your case you are rooting for sustainability and functionality which is a firm philosophical standpoint in design. From technical point of view I will have to agree with you. Although, artistically I would say that the world of architecture would be a worse place without Zaha.

I would love to see It inside!

True Zezuru Aka Architect!

She had the ugliest website ever back in 2007... the whole thing was impossible to navigate.

And Iraqi

Hahaha will be used for movies

Nextman916 it’s really beautiful, I think there would be no problem selling it if he decides to do it one day.

He doesn't need to. It's a Zaha Hadid m8, that sell's itself.

Lol, that is funny, I can tell you, that building has been stupid done, is looking shit and is by architecture and structure as fail as many fail buildings. You stupid idiots, only I know the perfect building for mankind. Pay me money and I will tell you the perfect building (there are 1 to 4).

He just sold it! it cost $140 million to build, and he build it for his then girlfriend (Naomi Campbell) now its sold, i don't know for how much

so true

It's not designed for the masses

Cities of the Future and why a funeral music?

Exactly! I don't know how people can call it ugly.

you read my mind

Bruh

Its Naomi Campbel's bro

How??

@@somethingporridge3106 It looks like shit.

I cringe at your grovelling!

That's what we need more of to solve the world's problems, curves.

I guess he wants to keep privacy, but it would be awesome to see more of this house, they have shown basicly nothing in this video.

the russian interior style is primitive. He has definitely carpets on the wall. that's why he does not show it

during the day it looks ok. at night, it looks like a place for lectures.

Because Russians are really secretive about everything.

Why does everything have to be done on a reasonable budget to make it look good or be beautiful? Why do people have issues with some people letting designers and architects go wild with their imagination and build what they like with no limits? Are you saying that good creativity has to have boundaries and limits? Does having the opinion that expensive design is bad make it bad? What if the same look was achieved really cheap? Does it make it good again? To me that opinion and view you have is really wobbly and unfounded. Anything can be expensive no matter what it looks like or is made of, value does not change design no matter how much it cost to make.

@@TheFreshSpam before you question my views and opinions I think you should look at yours first and dwell deeper into what I said. My point is that architecture must have a purpose, it must belong and it must be practical. Architecture should not merely be ornamental nor should it be so disclosed from its context as this example from Zaha Hadid. I'm not saying that Zaha Hadid is not a great architect because she is one of my favourite architects and nor am I saying that expensive is often bad. However, I'm of the belief that architecture does not need to cost millions of dollars to be great and this example from Zaha is so disjointed from its context and does not convey a great sense of belongingness to its surroundings. A better design would have taken advantage of the surroundings and not be so enclosed and imposing.

Iraq is zaha Hadid
