Zaha Hadid's work can be uneven, in the quality of both design and construction, but I find her "Bridge Pavilion" for the Zaragoza Expo to be fascinating in terms of both form and texture. The skin of the structure possesses a porousness and openness that I have not seen in Hadid's work before, and I find her deployment of it in the context of her forms in this instance particularly sympathetic. It will be interesting to see if she explores this new porousness further.
Fernando Guerra's photography of the structure is also sympathetic, and has led me to an appreciation of contemporary Portuguese architecture - which can be both strikingly and subtlely sensual - in general.
