OUTDOOR & open-air DESIGN

Exterior Design & Architecture from the most influential female Architect

As part of the “Design Miami / Basel”, in Basel, a major project entitled “Zaha Hadid and Suprematism” was presented, which shows her continual artistic development under the influence of the Russian avant-garde. Hadid has transformed “Galerie Gmurzynska” into a black and white, fluid, dynamic space and in the unusual way presented the Russian constructivist works and their impact on its overall creative output. The exhibition includes work of legendary Russian artists: Ilya Chashnik, El Lissitzky, Kasimir Malevich, Alexander Rodchenko and Nikolai Suetin. An interesting setting of the exhibition, created by modern and classic - a cult constructivist terms, stress the incredible contemporary contributions Zaha Hadid has consistently made to the culture of our time, as well as the enduring influence and importance of the Russian Avant Garde. It was an honour to talk with Zaha Hadid on her last exhibition, inspiration, roots and future plans.

For DÉMARTISTUDIO, Hadid’s fluid spaces are a reminder that the line between inside and outside can dissolve. Our open-air projects continue the interior beyond the façade: one material language, one light, one continuous living space.
