Pretty sure it was

Wolfsburg Science Center by Zaha Hadid

From what I remember from the movie, I think they digitally inserted a mountain or some rock behind the building.

Is it just me or does that building already look old and dated in that photo?

zaha is so 2000's...:)

seriously though...wouldn't her aesthetics, on its own nature, date itself???

Zaha's work to me just seems like a bad scifi movie. Not like an Alien or original Star Wars where the design is pretty timeless. It looks dated by the time it's construction is complete. The first rendering is sleek and kind of cool, but by the time it's done, it looks outdated by the sets on a crappy SyFy Channel movie or a video game.

Her representations are always these swooping, aerial shots that look cool, but I can't imagine how they would produce nice spaces. These things that look like a fine web of mullions are really like 6' concrete beams from the human scale. Nor does magic Rhino-Maya concrete shell exist in real life.

I've always felt that she built for some as yet unrealized fascist utopia. I don't know her politics at all, but her aesthetic is cold, corporate, almost Orwellian, to me.

On an unrelated topic, that movie has some serious camera work!

Thought it would be a lame blockbuster but I think the International is one of the best Hollywood movies of the year (note: emphasis on the word Hollywood)

i think there was a podcast on itunes on this topic... u could download it...

I think cheesy sci-fi is the design inspiration for many 2nd and 3rd rate high-rise designers, especially in Asia.

In the USA, the prevailing approach is "let's put 6-8 different curtainwall patterns on our box-shaped building to create 'interest' ".
