摘要

The remarkably pure architectural concept of a pristine white shell -sometimes unraveling turban, sometimes slit-jowelled shark basking on raised ground above the Caspian Sea (AJ 17.01.14) - has been achieved by Zaha Hadid Architects' meticulous attention to architectural detail, seen here in a fascia section and, from a different part of the building, a plan showing the bifurcations that filter light through the façade.
