The recently opened Innovation tower building in Hon kong Polytechnic University is fine example of contemporary building practice by Zaha Hadid. The building has spectacular presence in central open space where existing buildings have their dated presence of modernist era. The eccentric cascade of fluid form draws the attention among the brick
cladded disciplined modern building. The innovation center is dynamic within where common areas like podium, stairs resonate the formal property of exterior cascading form.
The stacked, layered and sliding away design reflects the long obsession of dynamic nature of the city of Hon kong. The form is dissolving the high rise typology into knitted fluid form. It offers striking visual experience as building unfolds itself with multi-layered spaces and vistas of city outside.
