Meixi Lake Culture & Arts Centre

The Meixi Lake International Culture and Arts Centre in Changsha, designed by Zaha Hadid Architects — a cluster of white petals resting by the water. Shot from the air and from within: the flowing atrium curves, the triangulated skylight scattering daylight across the halls, and the warm light tucked into the folds.
