When Pritzker Prize-winning architect Zaha Hadid died unexpectedly last month, she left a remarkable legacy.
Over her incredible four-decade career, she designed acclaimed buildings around the world. Her death came as a surprise, and 34 of her projects are still in progress.
Nonetheless, her firm, Zaha Hadid Architects, is still marching on. On April 25, Hadid's first posthumous building opened: the Salerno Maritime Terminal in Italy.
With Hadid's signature sweeping curves, it resembles the shape of a manta ray floating at the edge of the city's marina.
Take a look.
Located on the Gulf of Salerno, the concrete building will function as a terminal for local ferries and cruise ships from around the world. Italy's border control will also have offices inside.
The layout follows a natural progression through check-in, security, customs, and to the ships. Ferry commuters will be able to move quickly through the terminal.
500,000 more passengers a year will be able to pass through the terminal, the firm said in a statement.
