7:22Now PlayingToday, HENI Talks is presented by Rolf Fehlbaum, chairman emeritus of Vitra.
In this HENI Talk, Rolf Fehlbaum discusses the visionary design of Zaha Hadid’s Vitra Fire Station, one of her most iconic early works. Completed in 1993, this groundbreaking building in Weil am Rhein, Germany, defies conventional architectural forms with its sculptural forms, sharp angles, and dramatic use of concrete. Redefining architectural boundaries, the Vitra Fire Station was Hadid’s first constructed project, marking a pivotal moment in her career and influencing generations of architects to come.
In this video, we explore:
🔹 Vitra Fire Station’s distinctive and bold architecture
🔹 Hadid’s innovative use of geometry and space
🔹 The building’s dual role as both a fire station and a work of art
🔹 How this project set the stage for Hadid’s future masterpieces
Join us for an in-depth look at how the Vitra Fire Station changed the architectural landscape and solidified Hadid’s legacy as one of the most influential designers of the 21st century.
