More quotes by Zaha Hadid
I don't particularly like showing furniture on pedestals, but for whatever reasons you always have to in museums.
Zaha Hadid
Would they call me a diva if I were a guy?
Zaha Hadid
I miss aspects of being in the Arab world - the language - and there is a tranquility in these cities with great rivers. Whether it's Cairo or Baghdad, you sit there and you think, 'This river has flown here for thousands of years.' There are magical moments in these places.
Zaha Hadid
It's not my duty as an architect to look at it.
Zaha Hadid
There are some very similar moments in the early work where the focus was on drawing, abstraction and fragmentation. Then it moved to the development of ideas. Lately it has become what architecture should be, which is more fluid organization. There has not been so much 'a change' but 'a development'.
Zaha Hadid
The current state of architecture and design requires extensive collaboration and an investigative attitude and we continue to research and develop new technologies.
Zaha Hadid
You don't always have to show art in what's called a white box you can have a kind of complexity within an exhibit which actually respects the art as well.
Zaha Hadid
I find industrial cities exciting. I like their toughness.
Zaha Hadid
I always thought I was powerful, since I was a kid.
Zaha Hadid
Know what it is that you are trying to find out.
Zaha Hadid
When you are overworked and exhausted, there is a sense of kind of delirium and that's why I think architects do all-nighters and they kind of do those deadlines. For four days I remember doing four nights in one row with no sleep. I mean nobody, unless you are crazy, would do that, but you are totally focused on the project.
Zaha Hadid
People say I design architectural icons. If I design a building and it becomes an icon, that's ok.
Zaha Hadid
I've always thought that design can have equal importance to the idea of internal architecture. Professionally, things can be very dogmatic - you do the architecture, someone else does the interiors, someone else does the furniture, the fabric, etc. But I think design is all-encompassing.
Zaha Hadid
It was such a depressing time. I didn't look very depressed, maybe, but it was really dire. I made a conscious decision not to stop, but it could have gone the other way.
Zaha Hadid
You have to be very focused and work very hard, but it is not about working hard without knowing what your aim is!
Zaha Hadid
They all come out from the same thing all the projects are connected somehow.
Zaha Hadid
I loved London. In the 1970s... it was very exciting, really wild.
Zaha Hadid
As a woman you're not accessible to every world.
Zaha Hadid
Half of architecture students are women, and you see respected, established female architects all the time.
Zaha Hadid
Women are always told, 'You're not going to make it, its too difficult, you can't do that, don't enter this competition, you'll never win it,' - they need confidence in themselves and people around them to help them to get on.
