Set for completion in 2018, the \u201cscuptural element\u201d tower will add 39 storeys to the Macau skyline, with a unique, neo-futuristic design as only Ms. Hadid could deliver.<br \/>\nHadid is already well loved in China, her previous work including The Jockey Club Innovation Tower in Hong Kong, the Opera House in Guangzhou, and the Galaxy SOHO shopping mall in Beijing.<br \/>\nSpeaking with the Macau Daily Times, Lawrence Ho, chair of Melco Crown Entertainment which runs the City of Dreams, reiterated that he has been \u201clong impressed\u201d by Hadid\u2019s portfolio.<br \/>\nMore: Architectural icon Zaha Hadid leaves a legacy of striking designs behind<br \/>\n\u201cThe management team is singularly honoured to have [her design]the fifth tower of the City of Dreams,\u201d said Ho, who sought Hadid\u2019s services in 2012.<br \/>\nHadid\u2019s City of Dreams project is a rectangular, monolithic tower marked by a number of voids that burrow into a skeletal facade. Together, the voids loop to form a figure resembling the number 8.<br \/>\nEnvisioned as a gargantuan entertainment resort, Macau\u2019s Hadid-designed building will house the requisite City of Dreams casino, along with a 780-room hotel. Guests will be greeted by an atrium with a 35-metre-high ceiling.<br \/>\n\u201cThe new hotel will become a strong presence and statement within the COD site as well as an urban reference for the Cotai Strip, an area which has seen interest from a series of new developments and for which the new hotel will become a new iconic identity,\u201d Viviana Muscettola, senior associate at Zaha Hadid Architects (ZHA), told the Macau Daily Times.<br \/>\n<div class=\"video-container\"><div class=\"embed-vimeo\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/90348544\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div><\/div><br \/>\nMelco Macau from Zaha Hadid Architects on Vimeo.<br \/>\nRead next: Two new architecture trends that you need to know about&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\nSource : property-report.com&#013;<br \/>\nRead more&#8230;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.property-report.com\/zaha-hadids-last-architectural-hurrah-in-macau\/\" target=\"_blank\">Zaha Hadid\u2019s last architectural hurrah in Macau<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#013;
