: "When the historians of the future look back on our time, the buildings they'll remember will be the ones that express the way we live today by reflecting the speed and complexity of the world around us [...]. Few contemporary architects have achieved that as adroitly as Zaha Hadid, and none of her buildings has done so as eloquently as the Phaeno Science Centre in the German city of Wolfsburg."
Profile of Zaha Hadid: "We had been looking at the idea of projection and how perspectival issues and geometry have an impact on the way you perceive space and how you are propelled through space. We had looked at land formation and landscape as a way of dealing with urban space, large public buildings. We also did a lot of work on fluid morphology and movement. I think all these things have had an impact on each other, and therefore they do create a different kind of experience."
