I see that Iraqi-born, London-based Zaha Hadid is designing a Melbourne landmark for the Melbourne Docklands. Hadid will oversee the design of a spectacular $1.5 billion scheme earmarked for Collins Street by Middle Eastern investment company Sama Dubai. This will be Australia's greenest and most expensive office and housing complex.
The images of the proposal are not online. A pity. In 2004 Zaha Hadid won the prestigious Pritzker Prize for Architecture. Some examples of Hadid's work:
Zaha Hadid consistently pushes the boundaries of architecture and urban design. Her work experiments with new spatial concepts ranging widely from urban master planning to products, interiors, and furniture. She is widely known as one of today’s most innovative architects, consistently testing the boundaries of architecture, urbanism, and design.

The building is a unique combination of three civic institutions - the archives, the library and the sports department - within a single envelope.
