Aura at Villa Foscari 2008

Here is a sculpture by Zaha Hadid Architects at Villa Foscari, Venice.

To celebrate the 500th anniversary of Andrea Palladio’s birth (1508-2008), La Malcontenta invited Zaha Hadid Architects
to design and build two installations within Villa Foscari La Malcontenta, to initiate a dialogue between Contemporary
Architects and Palladio breaching five centuries of architectural discourse. For this exhibition, curated by architect
Giulia Foscari, Zaha Hadid and Patrik Schumacher explored the generative potential of the harmonic proportional system
introduced by Palladio in Villa La Malcontenta.” (from Zaha Hadid Architects)
