Phaeno Science Center Wolfsburg, Germany (2005) Zaha Hadid Architects

“I make this choice also in memory of Zaha Hadid. When I was a student at the AA [Architectural Association School of Architecture] in London in the 1980s, Zaha always advised me to follow what engineers were doing— rather than what other architects were doing— and I did exactly that for the year I spent in her unit. Her Phaeno Science Centre is a perfect example of this approach. In particular, the hollow programmed columns that she incorporated there were so original, and I haven’t seen that being done by anyone else since.” — Ben van Berkel, founder, UNStudio

Seattle Public Library Seattle, Washington (2004) OMA

“The Seattle Public Library ushered in the new millennium with critical optimism, declaring that our society can produce civic architecture in an urban democratic setting without resorting to sentimentality, relying instead on raw materials, embedded technology, and a fluid sense of space to reflect the collective contemporary condition of the city.” —Vishaan Chakrabarti, founder, PAU

21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art Kanazawa, Japan (2004) SANAA

“Embodying the holy grail of each gallery custom-designed for its work, more or less infinite expandability, and a perfection of form and detail, it is at once extremely simple and delightfully complex.” —James Biber, principal, Biber Architects
