Introduction
In the late of 20th and 21st century, the personal architectural character for each one of
"curvilinear" term has been launched to describe them (Çıngı, 2007). The architect Zaha Hadid
designs with complex curved structures, formed was one of those architects, and considered as

architecture and made it an integral part of the lines and was characterized by abstraction and
