A vezető építészek és dizájnerek magazinjának legutóbbi számában Zaha Hadid és fotósa, Helene Binet kapcsolata a vezető téma. Az olvasók emellett megismerkedhetnek Rajk László munkásságával, aki "a kommunizmus idején tiltással sújtott ellenzéki volt, és mindig a hatalmi túlkapások ellen harcolt". Herbert Wright azt mondja róla, hogy "Európa legizgalmasabb építésze lehetne".

A lapszám olvasói Új Zéland-i utazást nyerhetnek.

 

This month we look at the close relationship between Zaha Hadid and Helene Binet, the photographer who has been capturing the essence of Hadid’s buildings for almost 20 years. The two friends discuss how they met, what they think of each other’s work, and the state of architectural photography today. It catches Hadid at her most relaxed and reveals how a photographer can have a profound effect on the way an architect is perceived.

It’s not just photographer’s who help make the work of Hadid shine. Moritz Waldemeyer is the man behind the high-tech elements of Hadid’s Z. Island kitchen for DuPont Corian, not to mention Ron Arad’s chandeliers, and Hussein Chalayan’s dresses. He talks to Caroline Roux about striking out on his own and being a pioneer in the field of mechatronics.

We also take a look at the year ahead to find what the world of design has in store for us, and launch the World of Wearable Art Competition: Blueprint readers can win a trip for two to New Zealand.
