The iconic architect's former studio is set to open to the public with a focus on her stage and set designs.
London's cultural footprint is expanding as the former headquarters of renowned architect Zaha Hadid undergoes a major transformation into a brand-new public arts venue. The site is scheduled to open its doors to the public on November 3, marking a significant transition from a private architectural base to an open space for arts programming in the capital.
The inaugural exhibition at the newly repurposed venue will highlight a lesser-known dimension of Hadid's creative legacy. Rather than focusing solely on her landmark architectural projects, the opening show will explore her innovative experiments with stage and set design. This debut presentation is curated by Libby Sellers and Catherine Howe, who have assembled a collection documenting this distinctive and exploratory side of Hadid's artistic practice.
The transformation of the headquarters into an accessible arts space adds a notable new destination to London's creative ecosystem. By dedicating its initial programming to stage and performance environments, the venue will give visitors and design enthusiasts rare insight into the multidisciplinary breadth of Hadid’s work and creative vision. The project ensures that her London headquarters remains an active, vibrant center for contemporary culture, engaging the public with both historical work and specialized creative disciplines.
The opening provides London creatives and the public with access to a major architectural site and highlights interdisciplinary experiments in set and stage design curated by Libby Sellers and Catherine Howe.
