"I don't think that architecture is only about shelter, it is about a very simple enclosure to excite you, to calm you, and to make you think." - Zaha Hadid
Bold, fluid, and futuristic, Zaha Hadid’s Zaragoza Pavilion for the 2008 Expo in Spain remains one of the most daring expressions of her architectural imagination. Designed as both a bridge and a building, it embodies Hadid’s lifelong fascination with form, flow, and movement and a visitor attraction when coming to Zaragoza.
The Pabellón Puente, a futuristic, gladiolus-shaped bridge designed by Zaha Hadid, serves as both a pedestrian crossing over the Ebro River and home to the Mobility City exhibition, showcasing innovations in sustainable transport. It's a striking architectural landmark and one of the main symbols of the 2008 Zaragoza Expo.
In this HENI Talks short film, Luis Fernández-Galiano, Professor at the School of Architecture of Universidad Politécnica of Madrid and Director of the “AV/Arquitectura Viva” magazine. explores how the pavilion captures Hadid’s radical approach to architecture — merging engineering with emotion, and structure with sculpture.
🏛️ Discover:
• How Zaha Hadid redefined architecture as an art form
• The symbolism behind the pavilion’s fluid, water-inspired design
• Why this project marked a turning point in her career
Zaha Hadid’s work continues to shape the skyline — and our imagination.
If you’re fascinated by art, creativity, and the people who shape culture, this intimate conversation offers a rare glimpse into the making of a curator — and a reflection on why art still matters.
