Famed architect Zaha Hadid is slowly but surely dotting the global landscape with her architectural creations.

Hadid’s winning design sprawls 450,000 square metres and possesses the signature fluidity of her work. Made to imitate the natural topography of the Nile valley, the design, almost malleable in appearance, will eventually house exhibitions and conferences for the influx of business travellersCairo is seeking to attract in its plans for revitalisation.

The main artery of the building will branch off into tributaries leading to the different halls needed for meetings and business purposes. Incidentally, Hadid is also on board to construct Stone Towers, a business park in Cairo.
