Banana image is a cut out from a magazine.

Jason_x.j / Shutterstock.com Lakshmi Priya Rajendran, Anglia Ruskin University In the five years since Zaha Hadid’s passing, much has been written about the glorious and towering legacy the fabled British-Iraqi architect left behind. Thinking about what she started, though, is more instructive. Born in Baghdad, Iraq in 1950, Hadid – aka the Queen of Curve – fundamentally altered the contours of modern architecture and design. She shattered gender stereotypes … Continue reading Zaha Hadid – an extraordinary architect
Vision, the artist’s and the viewer’s, has been central to the production and appreciation of physical art. The mechanics of visions though, and their influence on perception are a subtext that is rarely addressed. This article reviews seven of the … Continue reading Seven Strange Quirks Of Human Vision
