More quotes by 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
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 am quite sensitive to politics, because you know, as an Arab, an Iraqi, all your life, you are very conscious of it.
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
Some people really live and work within the same doctrine, the same diagram with the same logic.
Zaha Hadid
In Iraq, many of my female friends were architects and professionals with a lot of power during the 1980s while all the men were at war in Iran.
Zaha Hadid
One has to strive for a very open liberal society.
Zaha Hadid
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.'
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
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
I don't think that everybody in the planet should have a child. I've never had the desire I should have a kid.
Zaha Hadid
People say I design architectural icons. If I design a building and it becomes an icon, that's ok.
Zaha Hadid
Would they call me a diva if I were a guy?
Zaha Hadid
I have always appreciated those who dare to experiment with materials and proportions.
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
As a woman, I'm expected to want everything to be nice and to be nice myself. A very English thing. I don't design nice buildings - I don't like them. I like architecture to have some raw, vital, earthy quality.
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
When I taught, all my best students were women.
Zaha Hadid
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
With products the form is almost the finished piece, but with architecture it is not.
Zaha Hadid
