Vitra Fire Station

Vitra Fire Station was Zaha Hadid’s first major built project. For much of the beginning of her career, she had many designs on paper, but her designs were seen as too radical and experimental to move beyond that. The fire station was constructed from 1989-1993 in Weil am Rhein, Germany. She used few colors and simple shapes but arranged them in an eye-catching way. There seems to be an effort to avoid right angles, making the building very unique, particularly for a fire station.
