Zaha Hadid Architects to ZHA

So apparently Zaha Hadid Architects principal Patrik Schumacher has introduced that the studio is formally being renamed ZHA, following the conclusion of a authorized battle. Schumacher introduced the studio's new identify, which he described as a "pure model evolution", in an Instagram put up. Together with the rebrand, the studio launched a brand new web site. The web site features a assertion highlighting that the studio has ended its licensing settlement with the Zaha Hadid Basis.

"I'm so proud and excited to announce that we’ll be buying and selling the brand new identify ZHA, and in addition with a brand new registered firm named ZHA Architects Restricted. That is 10 years after Zaha's passing. We really feel it's very pure model evolution to maneuver to a extra collective id. After all, we love Zaha, and we've been working together with her, the management, and myself, in fact, for a lot of many years, collaborating and dealing on these tasks, however she's now not with us – in spirit solely – and now we have a number of new tasks popping out." – Patrik Schumacher
