Abstract
The Heydar Aliyev Center, located in Baku, the capital city of Azerbaijan, is the city’s most prominent building and a primary example of parametric design—a flowing architectural style developed by the internationally-celebrated Iraqi-British architect Zaha Hadid (1950-2016). Similar in form to Hadid’s other buildings, the radically-shaped cultural center is comprised of giant curvy parabolic and hyperbolic forms that create a dynamic interaction with its elements that seem to challenge gravity.
