They all come out from the same thing all the projects are connected somehow.

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.

I think about architecture all the time. That's the problem. But I've always been like that. I dream it sometimes.
Zaha Hadid
Image
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.

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.

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
Image
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
Image
Half of architecture students are women, and you see respected, established female architects all the time.
Zaha Hadid
Image
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
Image
Architecture is unnecessarily difficult. It's very tough.
Zaha Hadid
Image
I have always appreciated those who dare to experiment with materials and proportions.
Zaha Hadid
Image
People don't talk to you properly. It's the way they talk to you they dismiss you. I think it's a combination of me being a woman and a foreigner.

When I taught, all my best students were women.
