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.

More quotes by Zaha Hadid
I don't particularly like showing furniture on pedestals, but for whatever reasons you always have to in museums.
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 don't like the masculine style, jeans. I like issey miyake... and black dresses.
Zaha Hadid
The goal posts might shift, but you should have a goal.
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
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
My father was a politician, and a very important politician, and one of the leaders of the Iraqi Democratic Party, who believed in progress.
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 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
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
I loved London. In the 1970s... it was very exciting, really wild.
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
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.
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 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
Architecture is unnecessarily difficult. It's very tough.
Zaha Hadid
For a woman to go out alone into architecture is still very, very hard. It's still a man's world.
Zaha Hadid
I have always appreciated those who dare to experiment with materials and proportions.
Zaha Hadid
The world is looking more and more segmented, the difference between people is becoming greater.
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
