The commission process in America and England is different. In America, they do it through an interview process, and it's really based on whether they like you or not. I mean, it's nothing to do with whether you do the best scheme or the worst scheme.

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
Image
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.

Architecture is unnecessarily difficult. It's very tough.

The world is looking more and more segmented, the difference between people is becoming greater.

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.

It is insufficient for architecture today to directly implement an existing building typology it instead requires architects to carefully examine the whole area with new interventions and programmatic typologies

I can't focus when there's too many things around. Whenever I used to go to the office, I used to always say, 'Tidy up.'

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.

I really believe in the idea of the future.

I made a decision when I was in school that I'd have a lot of male friends.

I always thought I was powerful, since I was a kid.

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.

I loved London. In the 1970s... it was very exciting, really wild.

My father was a politician, and a very important politician, and one of the leaders of the Iraqi Democratic Party, who believed in progress.

I love driving around east London - it's always full of surprises. Actually, I don't drive myself - I like to be driven.
