What's similar between Britain and America is the lack of good-quality civic buildings.
Zaha Hadid
Image
I have always appreciated those who dare to experiment with materials and proportions.
Zaha Hadid
Image
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
Image
You have to really believe not only in yourself you have to believe that the world is actually worth your sacrifices.
Zaha Hadid
Image
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
