Fragmentation and flow come together in the idea of the field. - Hadid

WHAT IS A FIELD?

WHAT IS SPACE?

Nordpark Railway / 2007

The resultant graphic space greatly anticipates the later...concepts offieldand swarm. The effect is very much like the effects currently pursuedwith...digitally simulated gravitational fields that grip, align, orient, andthus cohere a set of elements or particles with the digital model

The dynamism in Hadids work develops through the conventionalsigns of planes, but describes the planes of future three-dimensionalbodies. At a certain moment...Hadids work...explodes in the three-dimensional time of the new architectural construction.

This latent shift in the definition of architecture from matter to energybecomes ultimately explicit in one of her most recent buildings, theStrasbourg tram terminus.

The overall concept towards the planning of the car park and the stationis one of overlapping fields and lines that knit together to form aconstantly shifting whole. Those fields are the patterns of movementengendered by cars, trams, bicycles and pedestrians. Each has a trajectory

and a trace, as well as a static fixture - Andreas Ruby

The notion of the cars as being ephemeral and constantly changingelements on the site is manifested as a magnetic field of white lines onthe black tarmac.

The specially articulated transition between open landscape and publicinterior space is designed to evoke a new idea of artificial nature thatblurs the boundaries between natural and artificial environments and thusimproves the quality of civic life in Strasbourg.

It is a territorial graffiti that combines the field-like inscription of thesurface in Walter de Marias Lightning Fieldwith the physical treatment ofterritory in Michael Heizers Double Negativeand the diagrammatic opticsof the asphalt ground in Ed Ruschas aerial photographs of L.A. parking

The city flows inwards while the project flows outwards. Pio Baldi

She calls the project 'a field more than an object... Rowan Moore

The design generates what Hadid calls 'confluence, interference andturbulence', and there is no single route through the building. There areloops and dead ends, some of which seem intended, others not

The premise of the architectural design promotes a disinheriting of theobject oriented gallery space. Instead, the notion of a drift takes on anembodied form.

Merging the weightlessness of planetary architecture with the groundsgravitational downforce, this space invokes the heavy hovering soeloquently pictured in countless science-fiction movies.

With the rise of relativism and scientific achievement, society has fewerconcrete definitions of its existence and its origins. Through theapplication of field space, Hadid seeks to remind visitors oftheir placewithin a placein other words, the origins of their identity in the context

of a vast and expanding universe
