Zaha Hadid
I am eccentric, I admit it, but I am not a nutcase.
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
Some people really live and work within the same doctrine, the same diagram with the same logic.

Zaha Hadid
You have to really believe not only in yourself you have to believe that the world is actually worth your sacrifices.
Zaha Hadid

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
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
One has to strive for a very open liberal society.
Zaha Hadid
In hospital, people should be able to have time to themselves.
Zaha Hadid
Indeed, our designs become more ambitious as we see the new possibilities created by the technology of other industries.
Zaha Hadid
The beauty of the landscape - where sand, water, reeds, birds, buildings, and people all somehow flowed together - has never left me.
Zaha Hadid
I don't like the masculine style, jeans. I like issey miyake... and black dresses.
Zaha Hadid
