BEKO Masterplan is proposed project designed by Zaha Hadid Architects for Belgrade, Serbia. Designers imagined transforming an old factory and space around it into modern mixed-use complex with retail, residential and commercial space, braking the straight sharp lines of 20th century architecture with curves and recognizable modern architecture.


Buildings are designed to connect with surrounding nature and two rivers, inviting the public space to mix with private, making the whole complex open, friendly and welcoming. It's Zaha's way of taking the Belgrade's architecture into 21st century.

After successful and impressive Wangjing SOHO in Beijing, famous Zaha Hadid Architects designed another amazing project for this Chinese company. This time modern office and retail complex is located in Shanghai, called Sky SOHO.


New offices are imagined as a complex of four futuristic looking horizontal buildings connected with sky bridges, providing strong visual identity close to Hongqiao Transportation Hub near Shanghai's city centre and Hongqiao Airport. Roofs will be used as green park areas, also connected with sky bridges, making the whole new complex sustainable and welcoming.

This is one of the older projects from Zaha Hadid Architects, but we will bring it up simply because of its power and ability to attract attention. It was a competition entry for Taichung Metropolitan Opera House in Taiwan. Intense curved lines followed with the unusual black color managed to make this piece of modern architecture different from everything around.


This eye-catching project with total of 3000 seats was imagined to be built on two plots, passing above the street which would make it even more dominant in the area. Unfortunately this entry was rejected while Toyo Ito & Associates were chosen with their wining project. Construction is progressing and the new opera house is set to open in 2013.
