Nanjing International Youth Culture Centre by Zaha Hadid". designboom | architecture & design magazine. 27 September 2016 . Retrieved 22 December 2018. Julia Peyton-Jones, co-director of the Serpentine Gallery, has said that Hadid's life and her work constitute "an all-encompassing vision" and "a complete work of art", that she is "a pioneer", "well ahead of her time". In the Hadid-designed Roca showroom in west London, a curvaceous sci-fi quasi-shrine with the ostensible purpose of selling bathroom fittings, a visitors' book is rich in tributes. One reads: "One of the most beautiful experiences in the life. I am the future. Best best xxx love." Also: "a mesmerising trip to the future"; "I love Zaha Hadid. Very peaceful place"; and "I trust in Zaha Hadid. I was sure that this place should be amazing!" Dubai's The Opus by ZHA set to open on January 15". designMENA. 1 July 2018 . Retrieved 22 December 2018. In 2002, Hadid won the international design competition to design Singapore's one-north master plan. In 2004, Hadid became the first female recipient of the Pritzker Architecture Prize. [111] In 2005, her design won the competition for the new city casino of Basel, Switzerland [112] and she was elected as a Royal Academician. [113] In 2006, she was honoured with a retrospective spanning her entire work at the Guggenheim Museum in New York; that year she also received an Honorary Degree from the American University of Beirut. Deyan Sudjic of The Guardian described Hadid as "an architect who first imagined, then proved, that space could work in radical new ways... Throughout her career, she was a dedicated teacher, enthused by the energy of the young. She was not keen to be characterised as a woman architect, or an Arab architect. She was simply an architect."

She won the Stirling Prize, the UK's most prestigious award for architecture, two years running: in 2010, for one of her most celebrated works, the MAXXI in Rome, [120] and in 2011 for the Evelyn Grace Academy, a Z‑shaped school in Brixton, London. [121] She also designed the Dongdaemun Design Plaza & Park in Seoul, South Korea, which was the centrepiece of the festivities for the city's designation as World Design Capital 2010. In 2014, the Heydar Aliyev Cultural Centre, designed by her, won the Design Museum Design of the Year Award, making her the first woman to win the top prize in that competition. [11] In 2015, she became the first woman to receive the Royal Gold Medal awarded by the Royal Institute of British Architects. [122] [123] The Broad Art Museum at Michigan State University in East Lansing, Michigan, Hadid's second project in the United States, has a space of 4,274 square metres, dedicated to contemporary art and modern art and an historical collection. The parallelogram-shaped building leans sharply and seems about to tip over. Hadid wrote that she designed the building so that its sloping pleated stainless steel facades would reflect the surrounding neighbourhood from different angles; the building continually changes colour depending upon the weather, the time of day and the angle of the sun. As Hadid commented, the building "awakens curiosity without ever truly revealing its contents". [54] Elaine Glusac of The New York Times wrote that the architecture of the new museum "radicalizes the streetscape". [55] The Museum was used in a scene of the 2016 Batman vs. Superman movie. [56] Galaxy SOHO, Beijing, China (2008–2012) [ edit ] It would be surprising if Ilham Aliyev, ruler of Azerbaijan, has much interest in Schumacher's "emerging social demands", or in reflecting them in the Heydar Aliyev centre, which is named after his father and immediate predecessor as president. From a distance of a few thousand miles this building looks extraordinary, with almost every surface, inside and out, being both white and curving, offering an experience of total immersion in Zaha-ness. But it doesn't look like a work of the democratic urban energy of which Betsky speaks. Rather, it seems an exercise in isolated magnificence not so different from the colossal cultural palaces long beloved of Soviet and similar regimes – it is just that the giant Asiatic-classical columns that they would once have used have been traded for futurist swooshes. Zaha Hadid is the most famous woman architect in the world, and the first to win the Pritzker Prize. Having achieved international recognition through her striking images and design, the Iraqi-born, London-based architect is now of the profession’s most sought-after figures. Her buildings are now appearing across the globe, from Europe to the United States, in China and Japan. Zaha Hadid’s moment has arrived. Zaha Hadid: Complete Works is one of the most exciting and complex architectural monographs ever published. This brilliantly conceived and designed publication comprises four volumes of differing sizes that offer multiple perspectives on more than a hundred projects and over twenty years at the vanguard of architecture. Zaha Hadid was flying to Frankfurt to give a talk, in which I was her interlocutor. Her plane taxied from its stand, developed a minor fault, and stopped. She refused to believe the reassurances that the delay would be brief, and demanded that she be put on another flight. Her wish was impossible – to return to the stand, to unload and reload her baggage in the hold, it couldn't be done – but Hadid insisted, vigorously. The cabin staff tried to calm her, warn her, admonish her, until a stewardess noticed that this was the same woman whose picture was in the current edition of the in-flight magazine, attached to a profile of the Pet Shop Boys, for whom she had designed a set. "Are you Zaha Hadid?" she asked. Then the impossible became possible, and the architect got to change planes.This series is always a joy to read, it’s a really nice introduction to well known women for little children. Of course the plot is always a little bit fast but that’s to be expected and it’s totally understandable. Antwerp Port House / Zaha Hadid Architects". ArchDaily. 22 September 2016 . Retrieved 22 December 2018. Zaha Hadid was a revolutionary architect. For years, she was widely acclaimed and won numerous prizes despite building practically nothing. Some even said her work was simply impossible to build. Yet, during the latter years of her life, Hadid's daring visions became a reality, bringing a new and unique architectural language to cities and structures such as the Port House in Antwerp, the Al Janoub Stadium near Doha, Qatar, and the spectacular new airport terminal in Beijing.

[9] She received the UK's most prestigious architectural award, the Stirling Prize, in 2010 and 2011. In 2012, she was made a Dame by Elizabeth II for services to architecture, and in February 2016, the month preceding her death, [10] she became the first woman to be individually awarded the Royal Gold Medal from the Royal Institute of British Architects ( Ray Eames and Sheila O'Donnell had previously been awarded it jointly with Charles Eames and John Tuomey respectively). [11] [12] Early life and family [ edit ] I'd also say that there is still some X-factor, some oomph, that sets almost any Hadid project apart from the copyists. I am fully expecting her Aquatics Centre, for example, to be one of the greatest places in London in which to swim, even if its new-look exterior is a bit ponderous.
