One of Hadid's enduring inspirations has been the early 20th century Suprematist art of Kazimir Malevich and El Lissitzky, with its rejection of single-point perspective, airborne shards and multiple vanishing points, which she managed to translate into genuine architectural forms. You can find their influence — and maybe also a nod to the massive steel plate sculpture of Richard Serra — in the thrusting, angular planes of her first completed building, a firehouse on the manufacturing campus of Vitra, a furniture company known for commissioning buildings by significant architects like Hadid, Frank Gehry and Tadao Ando.

British Museum - Limestone ostrakon with lion's head and quail chicks
- [ 翻譯此頁 ]The quail chick and lion's head sketched on this limestone flake are bothostrakon
An ostracon (Greek: ὄστρακον ostrakon, plural ὄστρακα ostraka) is a piece of pottery (or stone), usually broken off from a vase or other earthenware vessel. In archaeology, ostraca may contain scratched-in words or other forms of writing which may give clues as to the time when the piece was in use. The word is derived from Greek ostrakon, meaning a shell or a shard of pottery used as a voting ballot. It is a common error for the plural form ostraca to be used as the singular for ostracon.
In Athens, the voting public would write or scratch the name of a person in the shard of pottery. When the decision at hand was to banish or exile a certain member of society, citizen peers would cast their vote by writing the name of the person on the piece of pottery; the vote was counted and if unfavorable the person was exiled for a period of ten years from the city, thus giving rise to the term ostracism.

Limestone ostrakon with lion's head and quail chicks
Probably from Thebes,
Egypt
19th or 20th Dynasty (about 1295-1069 BC)
The workmen who decorated the tombs of the
kings, and those of the king's courtiers and officials,
were generally highly skilled. The work force was usually divided
into gangs, each of whom decorated separate areas. After the walls
had been prepared, the scenes were mapped out. Grids were sometimes
used to help lay out the main elements of the scenes and with the
proportions of the figures. The most highly skilled artists,
however, often drew figures
freehand.19th or 20th Dynasty (about 1295-1069 BC)
The beautiful images created by these artists were the result of years of experience and practice. Flakes of limestone (ostraka) were used as sketch pads to plan scenes and to practice drawing difficult or unusual features. The quail chick and lion's head sketched on this limestone flake are both common hieroglyphic symbols. The lion's head symbolizes the concepts of 'might' and 'power', particularly that of the king. The sure strokes of the artist show that he is familiar with the form, but wants to show the meaning of the hieroglyph through his drawing. The quail has been redrawn several times before the artist was satisfied and may be the result of a 'drawing lesson', with the artist copying from an example drawn by a more experienced master.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Shard (formerly known as Shard London Bridge, the London Bridge Tower[3][4] or the Shard of Glass)[5][6] is a skyscraper in London, United Kingdom. Standing 309.6 metres (1,016 ft) above ground level, it topped out on 30 March 2012.[7] The Shard is the tallest building in Europe, and is also the second-tallest free-standing structure in the United Kingdom, after the 330-metre (1,083 ft) concrete tower at the Emley Moor transmitting station.
