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.

Zaha Hadid

Zaha Hadid
I made a decision when I was in school that I'd have a lot of male friends.
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
Would they call me a diva if I were a guy?
Zaha Hadid
The world is looking more and more segmented, the difference between people is becoming greater.
Zaha Hadid
It would be very interesting to design objects for everyday life, something where the ideas that are expressed can be launched into society.
