Zaha Hadid retrospective announced for Venice Architecture Biennale
Venice Architecture Biennale 2016: a retrospective of work by the late Zaha Hadid will take place during this year's Venice Biennale, including early paintings, models and photos of past and future projects.
The show will pay tribute to the Iraqi-born British architect, who passed away earlier this year, showcasing completed and under-construction building from throughout her 40-year career, as well as unrealised projects like the Cardiff Bay Opera House (1994-95).
The retrospective will be hosted by the glassmaking organisation Fondazione Berengo at the 16th-century Palazzo Franchetti on the Grand Canal and will coincide with the opening of the Venice Architecture Biennale in May 2016.

One room will pinpoint three "milestones" in the architect's career: her first completed project, the Vitra Fire Station (1993); the Rosenthal Center for Contemporary Art (2003) which contributed to her being awarded the Pritzker Architecture Prize; and the MAXXI Museum (2009), where the studio put into practice its experiments with computer-aided design.
Another space will host images of completed buildings, exploring the longstanding relationship between Hadid and photographer Hélène Binet.
Paintings from Hadid's early career will highlight the architect's interest in the Russian Avant-garde, and show the development of her schemes from paper to construction.
