More quotes by Zaha Hadid
I loved London. In the 1970s... it was very exciting, really wild.
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.
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
No. I don't have the patience, and I'm not very tactful. People say I can be frightening.
Zaha Hadid
Malevitch discovered abstraction as an experimental principle that can propel creative work to previously unheard levels of invention this abstract work allowed much greater levels of creativity.
Zaha Hadid
I don't think that architecture is only about shelter, is only about a very simple enclosure. It should be able to excite you, to calm you, to make you think.
Zaha Hadid
Yes, I'm a feminist, because I see all women as smart, gifted and tough.
Zaha Hadid
For many years, I hated nature. As a student, I refused to put a plant anywhere - a living plant, that is. Dead plants were OK.
Zaha Hadid
There are 360 degrees, so why stick to one?
Zaha Hadid
In terms of form, all the projects interest me equally, although there are obviously large differences according to the scale and process of each project.
Zaha Hadid
It's not my duty as an architect to look at it.
Zaha Hadid
In Iraq, many of my female friends were architects and professionals with a lot of power during the 1980s while all the men were at war in Iran.
Zaha Hadid
If I'm in london it can be different than if I'm somewhere else.
Zaha Hadid
Being Iraqi taught me to be very cautious.
Zaha Hadid
I really believe in the idea of the future.
Zaha Hadid
Indeed, our designs become more ambitious as we see the new possibilities created by the technology of other industries.
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
People often ask me if I consider myself to be an architect, fashion designer, or artist. I'm an architect. The paintings I've done are very important to me, but they were part of a process of thinking and developing.
Zaha Hadid
What's similar between Britain and America is the lack of good-quality civic buildings.
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.
