More quotes by Zaha Hadid
Of course I believe imaginative architecture can make a difference to people's lives, but I wish it was possible to divert some of the effort we put into ambitious museums and galleries into the basic architectural building blocks of society.
Zaha Hadid
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
In hospital, people should be able to have time to themselves.
Zaha Hadid
As a woman you're not accessible to every world.
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
I don't particularly like showing furniture on pedestals, but for whatever reasons you always have to in museums.
Zaha Hadid
My work first engaged with the early russian avant-garde the paintings of moholy-nagy, el lissitzky's 'prouns' and naum gabo's sculptures, but in particular with the work of kasimir malevitch - he was an early influence for me as a representative of the modern avant-garde intersection between art and design.
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
I will always have two regrets. I don't have a presence in London, and I would have liked to have done more work in the Middle East.
Zaha Hadid
I am quite sensitive to politics, because you know, as an Arab, an Iraqi, all your life, you are very conscious of it.
Zaha Hadid
Architecture is like writing. You have to edit it over and over so it looks effortless
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
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.
Zaha Hadid
I have been interested in fashion since I was a kid. Then I lived in London, where it was more about costume and a personal statement of who you are than about fashion.
Zaha Hadid
I really love Miami, but I don't think the architecture matches the city. It's a bit too commercial.
Zaha Hadid
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
Zaha Hadid
The current state of architecture and design requires extensive collaboration and an investigative attitude and we continue to research and develop new technologies.
Zaha Hadid
Architecture is really about well-being. I think that people want to feel good in a space ... On the one hand it's about shelter, but it's also about pleasure.
Zaha Hadid
Know what it is that you are trying to find out.
Zaha Hadid
The world is looking more and more segmented, the difference between people is becoming greater.
