You don't always have to show art in what's called a white box you can have a kind of complexity within an exhibit which actually respects the art as well.
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.

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.

Zaha Hadid
Architecture is unnecessarily difficult. It's very tough.
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
You have to really believe not only in yourself you have to believe that the world is actually worth your sacrifices.
Zaha Hadid
From my first days studying architecture at the architectural association, I have always been interested in the concept of fragmentation and with ideas of abstraction and explosion, where we were de-constructing ideas of repetitiveness and mass production.
Zaha Hadid
The idea for a building or an object can come up just as quick, but there is a big difference in process.
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
All the privileged can travel, see different worlds, not everyone can. I think it is important for people to have an interesting locale nearby.
Zaha Hadid
There are some very similar moments in the early work where the focus was on drawing, abstraction and fragmentation. Then it moved to the development of ideas. Lately it has become what architecture should be, which is more fluid organization. There has not been so much 'a change' but 'a development'.
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
The spirit of adventure to embrace the new and the incredible belief in the power of invention attracted me to the Russian avant-garde.
Zaha Hadid
Education, housing and hospitals are the most important things for society.
Zaha Hadid
When I first came to Guangzhou in 1981, it seemed such a hard and dour place with everyone in Chairman Mao uniforms.
Zaha Hadid
The paintings have only ever been ways of exploring architecture. I don't see them as art.
Zaha Hadid
I don't particularly like showing furniture on pedestals, but for whatever reasons you always have to in museums.
