More quotes by Zaha Hadid
Good education is so important. We do need to look at the way people are taught. It not just about qualifications to get a job. It's about being educated.
Zaha Hadid
People say I design architectural icons. If I design a building and it becomes an icon, that's ok.
Zaha Hadid
My work first engaged with the early russian avant-garde the paintings of moholy-nagy, el lissitzky's 'prouns' and naum gabo's sculptures, but in particular with the work of kasimir malevitch - he was an early influence for me as a representative of the modern avant-garde intersection between art and design.
Zaha Hadid
Obviously for some people there is a big connection between music and the way you can create a space.
Zaha Hadid
I am eccentric, I admit it, but I am not a nutcase.
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
I think about architecture all the time. That's the problem. But I've always been like that. I dream it sometimes.
Zaha Hadid
I am quite sensitive to politics, because you know, as an Arab, an Iraqi, all your life, you are very conscious of it.
Zaha Hadid
It's very important for cities all around the world to reinvent themselves, and Glasgow is a good example of that. The Scots are very nice. I don't think they are burdened by their history.
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
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'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's not my duty as an architect to look at it.
Zaha Hadid
Would they call me a diva if I were a guy?
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
No. I don't have the patience, and I'm not very tactful. People say I can be frightening.
Zaha Hadid
Of course there is a lot of fluidity now between art, architecture and fashion - a lot more cross-pollination in the disciplines, but this isn't about competition, it's about collaboration and what these practices and processes can contribute to one another.
Zaha Hadid
I find industrial cities exciting. I like their toughness.
Zaha Hadid
In hospital, people should be able to have time to themselves.
Zaha Hadid
A brilliant design will always benefit from the input of others.
