moma: We remember architect Zaha Hadid with her visionary design for The Peak Project from our collection. Hadid proposed a transformation of the site itself by excavating the hills of Kowloon and using the rock to build artificial cliffs. Into this new topography, she interjected cantilevered beams, shardlike fragments, and other elements that seemed to splinter the structure into its myriad constituent parts, as if it had been subjected to some powerful de–stabilizing force. Hadid’s work was exhibited in MoMA’s 1988 show Deconstructivist Architecture. [Zaha Hadid. The Peak Project, Kowloon, Hong Kong, China (Exterior perspective). 1991.
