Aerial view of LFone Landesgartenschau by Zaha Hadid, showing sweeping concrete ribbons integrated into the landscape.

LFone Landesgartenschau

Weil am Rhein · 1999

Photo · Photo by Helene Binet

A seminal precedent for landform architecture by Zaha Hadid, demonstrating how fluid concrete ribbons can blur the boundary between landscape pathways and building envelopes.

What we like about this project
The way the concrete pathways narrow down to sharp, sculptural points directly on the asphalt ground.

Geometry
Fluid, sweeping concrete ribbons that emerge from the ground plane, curving and splitting to form both pathways and structural roof planes.
Facade system
Ribbon glazing tucked beneath sweeping concrete roof slabs.
Structural guess
Reinforced concrete shell and slab system
Spatial scale
Low-slung, elongated structure integrated with pedestrian-scale pathways.
Lighting
Overcast, diffused daylight casting soft shadows that accentuate the sweeping curves and concrete edges.
Atmosphere
A quiet, sculptural integration of infrastructure and architecture under a muted sky.
Environmental context
Set within an open park landscape with surrounding dirt paths, grass, and bare trees.
Spatial experience
The building reads as an extension of the landscape, where paths gradually transition into structural enclosures and elevated terraces.
Composition rhythm
Parallel, converging, and diverging concrete bands that guide the eye along a dynamic linear path.
