More quotes by Zaha Hadid
I made a decision when I was in school that I'd have a lot of male friends.
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
The conservative values that are emerging, it may not effect architecture immediately but it will effect society and that's what worries me.
Zaha Hadid
There are so many great galleries and museums in London, but they can be very crowded during the day.
Zaha Hadid
I am equally proud of all of my architectural projects. It's always rewarding to see an ambitious design become reality.
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
People say I design architectural icons. If I design a building and it becomes an icon, that's ok.
Zaha Hadid
I don't think people should do things because you know, 'I am turning this age, I must go have a husband.' If you find somebody and it works out then have kids, it's very nice. But if you don't, you don't.
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
There is a strong reciprocal relationship whereby our more ambitious design visions encourage the continuing development of the new digital technologies and fabrication techniques, and those new developments in turn inspire us to push the design envelope ever further.
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
Know what it is that you are trying to find out.
Zaha Hadid
My father was a politician, and a very important politician, and one of the leaders of the Iraqi Democratic Party, who believed in progress.
Zaha Hadid
Yes, I'm a feminist, because I see all women as smart, gifted and tough.
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
In hospital, people should be able to have time to themselves.
Zaha Hadid
The paintings have only ever been ways of exploring architecture. I don't see them as art.
Zaha Hadid
The beauty of the landscape - where sand, water, reeds, birds, buildings, and people all somehow flowed together - has never left me.
Zaha Hadid
As a woman, I'm expected to want everything to be nice and to be nice myself. A very English thing. I don't design nice buildings - I don't like them. I like architecture to have some raw, vital, earthy quality.
Zaha Hadid
I've always been interested in combining architecture with a social agenda, and I really think you can invest and be inventive with hospitals and housing.
