Saturday 31 is the official opening day for the 35 million dollar project, begun in 2001 and which offers the city 2200 square metres of exhibition space. Hadid won the competition in 1998, after which the career of the Anglo-Iraqi architect took a leap forward, after Cincinnati receiving commissions for the Centre for Contemporary Arts in Rome, the Price Tower Art Center in Oklahoma, a terminal for ferries in Salerno, the BMW center in Leipzig and the masterplan for the city of Singapore.
