Heydar Aliyev Cultural Centre Overview

The Heydar Aliyev Cultural Centre in Baku, Azerbaijan was designed by Zaha Hadid. It covers an area of 101,801 square meters and serves as a venue for conferences, libraries, and museums. The main structure uses reinforced concrete, steel frames, and composite beams supported by a special steel tube-and-node space frame system to allow an unobstructed interior without interior columns. The building's cladding is a glass curtain wall system made of glass fiber reinforced plastic and concrete panels.

Site Analysis

Zones
•  the main structure of the Heydar Aliyev Cultural Centre is a mix
of reinforced concrete, steel frame structures, and composite beams
and decks. The space frame is composed of a special steel tube-and-
nodes system 
• It was necessary to construct a building that could seal out the elements
and bear high wind and seismic loads without relying on interior 
support columns (which would have impeded the flow of space).
• Ultimately, a system was devised that utilized a space frame as its main
structural element;
• the cladding is a curtain wall system comprised of various specially
fabricated panels.
• Glass fiber reinforced plastics (GFRP)
and glass fiber reinforced concrete
(GFRC) panels are the predominant
materials used in the façade system.
• The panels are composed of “various
layers of fine-grain high-performance
white cement concrete, reinforced
with fiber glass mats”
• It's a very durable and resistive
material which can be made very
thin, only a few mm or cm, because
there is no concrete cover needed,
like for steel reinforcements.
