Curated Links We Love: April 2, 2016 – Celebrating Zaha Hadid s Legacy

What we were clicking on and talking about this week at #FathomHQ.

Architect Zaha Hadid died this weekend. She was 65, and her influence on global stage can't be underestimated. Here's a quick tour: Grand Théatre de Rabat in Morocco, Abu Dhabi Performing Arts Center, MAXXI: Museum of XXI Century Arts in Rome. – Pavia, CEO

I'm looking for a new backpack for light travel, preferably one that doesn't look anything like a Herschel Supply Co. bag, and I'm considering these slim and handsome options from London-based maker Malle. Any other recommendations? Shoot me a note. – Daniel, editorial assistant

If you're anything like me and can't think of good restaurants on the spot, sign up for The Infatuation's Text Rex for personalized restaurant recommendations via text message. – Berit, editor

While doing some Japan research, a friend hipped me to 72 Seasons, an app based on the ancient Japanese calendar. It updates with photographs, illustrations, haiku poems, and Japanese words that point to the subtle changes in the natural world throughout the year. – Jeralyn, editorial director

A panda nursery just opened in Chengdu, China. When can I go? – Becky, assistant editor

At this moment, what do you think lies directly in front of you on the other side of the world? This new map project attempts to answer the question, with surprising results. For example, if you looked east from northern Newfoundland, your gaze would make it to Australia, uninterrupted. – Daniel

Aquarium de Paris is hosting a sleepover in their shark aquarium with Airbnb. Sleep tight. – Becky
