the black diamond II

Port Authority, Antwerp, Belgium...
Tribute to a special architect ... Zaha Hadid...
Of all her works, she designed only one government building, offices for the port authority, or 'Havenhuis', in Antwerp, Belgium, completed in 2016. Most new government buildings attempt to express solidity and seriousness; but Port Authority is a ship-like structure of glass and steel on a white concrete perch seems to have landed atop the old port building constructed in 1922. The faceted glass structure also resembles a diamond, a symbol of Antwerp's role as the major market of diamonds in Europe. It was one of the last works of Hadid, who died in 2016, the year it opened.
