5.0 out of 5 stars Great Overview, December 27, 2003

This review is from: Zaha Hadid: Works (CD-ROM)

The Zaha Hadid Works is a great CD that introduces and walks the viewer through her works. It clearly explains the projects through sketches, computerized images, and models. Also, the architects own comments help the viewer better understand the projects. These CD's are good for students and those interested in learing more about certain architects. I recomend this product to all architecture students around the country.

This review is from: Zaha Hadid: Works (CD-ROM)

Planet Architecture has the best information on some of the most influential architects today and the past. And whats great is that its all grouped in ONE CD, not in a bunch of separate books. Whether you are a student doing a project or an architecture enthusiast these cds are great buys. The cd is easy to navigate and graphically interesting. I suggest you buy one for yourself and a friend.

Planet architecture is an innovative concept to better appreciate and understand architecture in an easy and fast manner. Within a few minutes of navigating this CD you're going to have a better understanding of Zaha Hadid's architecture than reading a book. Not only does it provide drawing and photos, but also interviews with the architect, and a virtual walk through to her most famous works.
