Let's talk about your drawing and paitings.We think that they seem to be much more helpful to you as working tools than models, which seem to respond rather to an almost defintive image of the project.Which is the elaboration process of these drawings? How has your method of painting evolved?
Hadid: It all stared with me drawing to represent a project in a nonconventional way.I thought about architecture in a different way I thought the tool we have to represent architecture was not useful to me and it did not show the meaning of what i wanted to do. So i stared off with really trying to devise a way of projection which was useful to me. That 's how I stared,trying to see it from a different angle.
For a long time I knew I had to draw this,but I could not draw it in a conventional way because it did not seem to portray what I wanted to do.Then in time these drawings,projections and paintings bacause a design tool because we don't do them at the end of the project.We do them at the beginning,in the middle,all the way across.So they are more like very elaborate sketches,it's like sketching and testing out different aspects.These are always a lot of darwings,they all tell you a different thing.It was always about testing.First of all possibility to finalise a design but then testing wether the design would have worked in every possible situation.These projections began to change the work.It is a process of layering when you paint.The product became more layered and the drawings bacame a storyboard,it tells you the whole story of the life of this project.They have many agendas.I should really take a drawing or two show how it was built from the beginning till the end and what were tagent drawings that came from that drwing.They transpire many other things.Sometimes when you are drawing you think of another design for another project.It was like a snowball effect,it is a very strange way of working but for me it is very exciting.They are not illustrations.For instance,we built up a colour palrtte and the quality of light in the building,the idea of transparency,the materials and so on.
