More quotes by 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 don't think that architecture is only about shelter, is only about a very simple enclosure. It should be able to excite you, to calm you, to make you think.
Zaha Hadid
Malevitch discovered abstraction as an experimental principle that can propel creative work to previously unheard levels of invention this abstract work allowed much greater levels of creativity.
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
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
You really have to have a goal.
Zaha Hadid
When you are overworked and exhausted, there is a sense of kind of delirium and that's why I think architects do all-nighters and they kind of do those deadlines. For four days I remember doing four nights in one row with no sleep. I mean nobody, unless you are crazy, would do that, but you are totally focused on the project.
Zaha Hadid
What's similar between Britain and America is the lack of good-quality civic buildings.
Zaha Hadid
The world is looking more and more segmented, the difference between people is becoming greater.
Zaha Hadid
I always thought I was powerful, since I was a kid.
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
It's very important for cities all around the world to reinvent themselves, and Glasgow is a good example of that. The Scots are very nice. I don't think they are burdened by their history.
Zaha Hadid
Architecture is like writing. You have to edit it over and over so it looks effortless
Zaha Hadid
A brilliant design will always benefit from the input of others.
Zaha Hadid
They all come out from the same thing all the projects are connected somehow.
Zaha Hadid
With products the form is almost the finished piece, but with architecture it is not.
Zaha Hadid
If I'm in london it can be different than if I'm somewhere else.
Zaha Hadid
In hospital, people should be able to have time to themselves.
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
When I was growing up in Iraq, there was an unbroken belief in progress and a great sense of optimism. It was a moment of nation building.
Zaha Hadid
