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.

I like music. Country, hip-hop, R&B, sometimes classical.

One has to strive for a very open liberal society.

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
Image
Too many are too obsessed by method. it becomes a dogma.
Zaha Hadid

There is a strong reciprocal relationship whereby our more ambitious design visions encourage the continuing development of the new digital technologies and fabrication techniques, and those new developments in turn inspire us to push the design envelope ever further.
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.

When women do succeed, the press, even the industry press, spend far too much time talking about how we dress, what shoes we're wearing, who we're meant to be seeing. That's pretty sad for women, especially when it's written by women who really should know better.

Image
Contrary to popular view, I've never been patronized in the Middle East. Men maybe treat women differently, but they do not treat them with disrespect. They don't hate women. It's a very different kind of mentality.
Zaha Hadid
Image
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
Image
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
Image
With products the form is almost the finished piece, but with architecture it is not.
Zaha Hadid
Image
I am sure that as a woman I can do a very good skyscraper.

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

When I taught, all my best students were women.

I really love Miami, but I don't think the architecture matches the city. It's a bit too commercial.
Zaha Hadid
Image
The beauty of the landscape - where sand, water, reeds, birds, buildings, and people all somehow flowed together - has never left me.

Being Iraqi taught me to be very cautious.

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.
