Zaha Hadid Architects transitions to employee ownership

자하하디드 아키텍츠 우리사주제로 전환, 공정한 의사결정 체계와 다양한 미래 비전 제시

“실험에 끝이 없어야 한다고 생각한다.”

자하하디드 건축가의 생전 뜻을 기려 자하하디드 아키텍츠(콤)가 회사를 우리사주제로 전환했다.

ZHA는 전례 없는 글로벌 도전의 시기에 500명 이상의 헌신적인 전문가로 구성된 팀으로 성장했다. 미래에 대한 자하하디드의 확고한 낙관론과 창의적인 에너지에 대한 믿음은 그녀가 설립한 건축 관행의 DNA에 내재되어 있으며 그녀를 도와준 모든 직원들에게 그 혜택이 관대하게 돌아간다. 자하하디드가 추구한 새로운 아이디어와 기술은 더 창의적인 공간을 구축하고, 구조적 효율성, 기술의 발전, 지속가능한 결과물로 나타난다. 젊은 세대의 건축가들은 우리 직업이 더 접근하기 쉽고 평등해질 것을 요구하고 있다. 독립적이고 투명한 조직 시스템과 구조의 지원을 받는 ZHA의 직원 소유의 우리사주제는 공정한 의사결정을 주도하고 미래 비전을 향해 다양한 목소리를 담아내게 된다.

“I think there should be no end to experimentation.” Zaha Hadid (2011)

Zaha Hadid Architects (ZHA) has transitioned to employee ownership through our recently established Employee Benefit Trust.

Excelling through a period of unprecedented global challenges and growing to a team of more than 500 dedicated professionals, ZHA is built around a deep commitment to the culture of diverse people working collaboratively. This collective, multi-disciplinary approach to problem-solving has been a cornerstone of our success since the practice was founded by Zaha Hadid 42 years ago.

Zaha’s unwavering optimism for the future and belief in the power of invention is embedded within the DNA of the architectural practice she founded and generously gifted to those who helped her create it – all our employees.

With her extraordinary vision for the future and generosity in entrusting the practice to the friends and colleagues with whom she collaborated for several decades, Zaha has empowered every member of our team to nurture, develop and continue the work she began over 40 years ago.

As the Trust has no external shareholders, we can now reinvest all profits back into the business, into our people, equipment and facilities to the benefit all our employees; allowing us to prioritise our work with visionary clients, communities and industry experts around the world to advance the quality of the built environment.

Building upon the experimentation and pursuit of discovery that Zaha so championed, we embrace new ideas and technologies to deliver a repertoire of projects that become more spatially inventive, more structurally efficient, more technologically advanced and more sustainable with each new design.

Younger generations of architects are demanding our profession become more accessible and egalitarian. Supported by independent and transparent organizational systems and structures, employee ownership of ZHA will cultivate the skills and diversity that drives our decision-making and give every member of our team a voice in shaping our future.
