ZAHA HADID'S MASTERPIECE
Architectural Design of The Opus
The Opus is one of Zaha Hadid’s most celebrated projects in Dubai. The design features a cube with a carved central void, giving the structure its iconic, fluid form. By day, its reflective facade creates the illusion of a solid block; by night, the glowing void creates a striking visual contrast against Dubai’s skyline. The building was completed in 2017 after a complex engineering process involving multiple international teams. The bridge structure, curved glass façade, and free-form void required state-of-the-art 3D design and bespoke glass manufacturing, making The Opus a marvel of both art and engineering.
