The newly inaugurated Navi Mumbai International Airport, designed by Zaha Hadid Architects, showcases the late architect's distinctive style through its lotus-inspired design. This Rs 19,650-crore project represents another milestone in Hadid's impressive portfolio, which includes ten remarkable structures across the globe - from the wave-like London Aquatics Centre to the flowing forms of the Heydar Aliyev Center in Azerbaijan. The airport stands as a fitting addition to the legacy of the Iraqi-born British architect who revolutionized contemporary architecture with her deconstructivist approach.
