The Salerno Maritime Terminal by Zaha Hadid Architects (ZHA) was inaugurated today in southwestern Italy, marking the first project to be completed since the death of Zaha Hadid on March 31.

In 2000, ZHA won an international competition to design the new terminal, which houses administration offices, a waiting lounge, and retail spaces with a curving, asymmetrical shell of cast-in-place concrete. The terminal will service local, regional, and international ferries, in addition to cruise liners.

“This extraordinary work adds to everything Salerno is doing to transform itself, and I think it is marvelous,” said Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi. “It is also a way of remembering the great architect that Zaha Hadid was.”
