Zaha Hadid: The Serpentine North Gallery

In this film, Obrist steps inside one of Zaha Hadid’s most striking architectural achievements—the Serpentine North Gallery. Known for its sharp geometries, dramatic interior lines, and signature fluidity, this building reflects Zaha Hadid's pioneering approach to architecture. Designed in 2013, the gallery was Hadid’s first permanent building in London and a powerful example of her later work—unapologetically bold and sculptural. Join HENI Talks as we explore the story behind this architectural masterpiece, its design principles, and its lasting influence on contemporary architecture.
