More quotes by Zaha Hadid
Architecture is particularly difficult for women there's no reason for it to be. I don't want to blame men or society, but I think it was for a long time, the clients were men, the building industry is all male.
Zaha Hadid
Some people really live and work within the same doctrine, the same diagram with the same logic.
Zaha Hadid
They all come out from the same thing all the projects are connected somehow.
Zaha Hadid
In hospital, people should be able to have time to themselves.
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
You have to be very focused and work very hard, but it is not about working hard without knowing what your aim is!
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
What's similar between Britain and America is the lack of good-quality civic buildings.
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
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
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.
Zaha Hadid
I really love Miami, but I don't think the architecture matches the city. It's a bit too commercial.
Zaha Hadid
I used to not like being called a 'woman architect.' I'm an architect, not just a woman architect. The guys used to tap me on the head and say 'you're OK for a girl.' But I see an incredible amount of need from other women for reassurance that it can be done, so I don't mind anymore.
Zaha Hadid
There are so many great galleries and museums in London, but they can be very crowded during the day.
Zaha Hadid
Architecture is like writing. You have to edit it over and over so it looks effortless
Zaha Hadid
No. I don't have the patience, and I'm not very tactful. People say I can be frightening.
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
Being Iraqi taught me to be very cautious.
Zaha Hadid
I like music. Country, hip-hop, R&B, sometimes classical.
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.
