The Zaha Hadid Foundation (ZHF) is transforming the late architect Zaha Hadid’s former London headquarters into a public arts venue. The new facility is located in Clerkenwell in a Grade II-listed Victorian schoolhouse that previously housed Hadid’s studio offices.
The venue is set to open to the public on October 29. Several outlets describe the redevelopment as creating a public hub for architecture and design-related programming, including exhibition spaces. One report places the reopening in the context of the tenth anniversary of Hadid’s death, while other coverage focuses on the building’s new role as a “dynamic” centre for cultural events tied to her legacy.
Across sources, the common theme is a shift from a private studio to a public-facing cultural site, with the building’s heritage status and location in Clerkenwell highlighted as key context for the reopening.
