Introducing Striatus – the first of its kind 3D concrete printed arched bridge
Zaha Hadid Architects news – Being built for the Time Space Existence exhibition, hosted by the European Cultural Centre during the Venice Architecture Biennale 2021.

Opening soon at the Giardini della Marinaressa, Venice, Italy.

● Project by the Block Research Group (BRG) at ETH Zurich and Zaha Hadid Architects Computation and Design Group (ZHACODE), in collaboration with incremental3D, made possible by Holcim
● Establishing a new language for concrete, Striatus is circular by design, combining traditional masonry with advanced technologies
● Coming soon to Venice, Italy

Striatus establishes a new language for concrete and is designed according to the following principles:

Strength through geometry
Achieving strength through geometry, the Striatus bridge stands solely through compression without reinforcement. Using advanced technologies, from computational design and engineering to robotic manufacturing, Striatus revives traditional master builders’ techniques.

Circular by design
Striatus was designed to place material only where needed, significantly reducing its environmental footprint. With no reinforcement and using dry assembly without binders, it can be repurposed repeatedly.

A new language for concrete
Striatus opens up a world of possibilities with concrete in a design that is structurally informed, fabrication-aware and ecologically responsible. Material is precisely placed to build more with less.

Patrik Schumacher Allegations in UK High Court, London

The late Zaha Hadid’s business partner claims he was forced to agree to drop the architecture practice’s name – and alleges animosity clouded fellow executors’ judgment, reports Building Design.

Legal papers lodged by Patrik Schumacher in an attempt to oust fellow executors of the late architect’s estate have been released by the High Court.

They reveal an extraordinary tussle for control of Zaha Hadid Architects – with Schumacher forced to agree to drop the founder’s name from the world-famous practice.

He also claims he was forced to agree payments totalling £7.75m by the design practice (referred to as Zaha Hadid Ltd or ZHL) to a holding company controlled by the other three executors and their appointees, in a move Schumacher claims would reduce “ZHL’s ability to continue as a going concern”.
