Heydar Aliyev Centre Google Doodle
Heydar Aliyev Center Building by Zaha Hadid Architects featured in today’s Google Doodle
“The Heydar Aliyev Center, pictured in today’s doodle, sets itself in contrast to the block-like structures that surround it in Baku, Azerbaijan. At the same time, this cultural center takes inspiration from historic Islamic designs found in calligraphy and geometric patterns to create something entirely new. The building takes an open form to invite the public into its space. The center has played host to modern art by Andy Warhol and Tony Cragg, and world-class performances from Kitaro and Alessandro Safina.

In her early work, Hadid visualized her projects through paintings that resembled abstract modernist art. She famously said, “There are 360 degrees, so why stick to one"” You can explore some of these early concepts – including via virtual reality – on the Google Cultural Institute.”
