Three ZHA projects named as finalists for the Archello Awards 2024

Three projects by Zaha Hadid Architects have been named finalists for the Archello Awards 2024; Chengdu Science Fiction Museum for the ‘Museum Building of the Year’, Jiangxi River Bridge for the ‘Bridge of the Year’ and Masaryčka for the ‘Mixed Use Building of the Year’.

Integrating with the natural landscapes surrounding Jingrong Lake, the Chengdu Science Fiction Museum’s design defines nodes of activity connected by pedestrian routes that extend from the city and adjacent metro station through the surrounding parkland into the heart of the building; creating a journey of discovery that weaves between indoor and outdoor plazas at multiple levels to link the museum’s exhibition galleries, educational facilities, cafes and other amenities.

With its 185-metre central span and 55-metre secondary spans reaching to the riverbanks, the Jiangxi River Bridge is a road, cycle and pedestrian bridge over the meandering Jiangxi River; enabling the West Line Road to become the western section of the Airport New Town ring-road and cycle route. As arches provide the most efficient bridge structure for spans between 120-250 meters, the bridge’s steel arches lean together touching at their crown, stabilising the structure while its supporting piers taper into its arches and road deck.

Integrating Czech Railways’ modernisation and historic railway station, Masaryčka’s design defines the gateway to the city’s new public plazas and terraces establishing a dialogue with the urbanism of Prague’s Old Town, known as ‘the city of 100 spires’. Achieving LEED Platinum certification and meeting RIBA 2025 targets for embodied & operational carbon, its design incorporates roof gardens, a triple-insulated façade for optimal natural light, photovoltaics harvesting renewable energy and natural ventilation supported by smart management systems to reduce energy consumption.
