Beautiful New Photos of Zaha Hadid’s Galaxy SOHO in Beijing
By Jessica Stewart on August 14, 2018
One of Zaha Hadid's most iconic buildings, the Galaxy SOHO in Beijing shows all the curves and harmony that the legendary architect was known for. Completed in 2012 and formed from four interconnected egg-shaped structures, it's a study in organic forms. Photographer Andres Gallardo, known for his architectural photography, made a point to document the building while on a recent trip to Beijing. Through his eyes, we're able to remember just what makes this piece of architecture so magical.
Interior of the Galaxy SOHO
베이징의 자하 하디드의 갤럭시 소호 자하 하디드의 가장 상징적인 건물 중 하나인 베이징의 갤럭시 SOHO는 이 전설적인 건축가의 모든 곡선과 조화를 보여준다. 2012년에 완성되어 4개의 서로 연결된 달걀 모양의 구조물로 이루어진 이 건물은 유기체의 형태로 이루어져 있다. 건축 사진술로 유명한 사진작가 안드레스 갈라도는 최근 베이징을 여행하면서 이 건물을 기록하는데 중점을 두었다. 그의 눈을 통해 우리는 무엇이 이 건축물을 마술처럼 만들었는지 알 수가 있다. 황기철 콘페이퍼 에디터 큐레이터 Ki Cheol Hwang, conpaper editor, curator |
Gallardo, who is self-taught, gravitated to architectural photography soon after picking up his first camera six years ago. Perhaps owed to his parents, who are both architects, he found himself increasingly passionate about the possibility of visual storytelling through architecture. Now, he travels the world photographing contemporary and classical architecture. So when he found himself planning a trip to Beijing, where he also photographed the Great Wall, it was only natural that he'd make the pilgrimage to the Galaxy SOHO.
His biggest challenge was figuring out how he'd be able to add his own perspective on a building that has been photographed so many times. After studying what had been done in the past, he decided to focus on capturing the building in different lighting conditions. Thus, his series shows how Hadid's architecture transitions from day to night, the mood shifting over the course of the day.
For Gallardo, photographing Zaha Hadid's work is a way to better understand her vision and ideas. Immersed in the details of every curve and line, architectural photographers have a unique perspective on the look and feel of the buildings they document. As Gallardo travels and photographs the big contemporary architects, he continues to sharpen his craft, which transfers into his other personal projects.
