Patrik Schumacher, Principal and Company Director of Zaha Hadid Architects, joins our M.Arch graduate seminar, ARCH 791 - Special Studies in Architecture, taught by Professor Tom Verebes, to discuss ZHA’s recently completed project, Leeza Soho, in Beijing. This seminar focuses on the architectural envelope as a mode of comparison of the use of technology, through six exemplary building envelopes, of six seminal buildings completed within the first 20 years of this century.
