More quotes by Zaha Hadid
Half of architecture students are women, and you see respected, established female architects all the time.
Zaha Hadid
With products the form is almost the finished piece, but with architecture it is not.
Zaha Hadid
I used to not like being called a 'woman architect.' I'm an architect, not just a woman architect. The guys used to tap me on the head and say 'you're OK for a girl.' But I see an incredible amount of need from other women for reassurance that it can be done, so I don't mind anymore.
Zaha Hadid
The idea for a building or an object can come up just as quick, but there is a big difference in process.
Zaha Hadid
I don't like the masculine style, jeans. I like issey miyake... and black dresses.
Zaha Hadid
Contrary to popular view, I've never been patronized in the Middle East. Men maybe treat women differently, but they do not treat them with disrespect. They don't hate women. It's a very different kind of mentality.
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.

Architecture is like writing. You have to edit it over and over so it looks effortless
Zaha Hadid
Of course I believe imaginative architecture can make a difference to people's lives, but I wish it was possible to divert some of the effort we put into ambitious museums and galleries into the basic architectural building blocks of society.
Zaha Hadid
It would be very interesting to design objects for everyday life, something where the ideas that are expressed can be launched into society.
Zaha Hadid
For a woman to go out alone into architecture is still very, very hard. It's still a man's world.
Zaha Hadid
Architecture is how the person places herself in the space. Fashion is about how you place the object on the person.
Zaha Hadid
Wherever I am in the world, my perfect day begins with waking up and heading to the beach or the pool or somewhere I can be semi-comatose. I just wake up and go to the sun.
Zaha Hadid
What's similar between Britain and America is the lack of good-quality civic buildings.
Zaha Hadid
You really have to have a goal. The goal posts might shift, but you should have a goal. Know what it is you want to find out.
Zaha Hadid
I have always appreciated those who dare to experiment with materials and proportions.
Zaha Hadid
When I first came to Guangzhou in 1981, it seemed such a hard and dour place with everyone in Chairman Mao uniforms.
Zaha Hadid
Would they call me a diva if I were a guy?
Zaha Hadid
I really believe in the idea of the future.
Zaha Hadid
I don't particularly like showing furniture on pedestals, but for whatever reasons you always have to in museums.
Zaha Hadid
