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.

Too many are too obsessed by method. it becomes a dogma.
Zaha Hadid
If I'm in london it can be different than if I'm somewhere else.
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
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.
Zaha Hadid
I really believe in the idea of the future.
Zaha Hadid
Architecture is like writing. You have to edit it over and over so it looks effortless
Zaha Hadid
It was such a depressing time. I didn't look very depressed, maybe, but it was really dire. I made a conscious decision not to stop, but it could have gone the other way.
Zaha Hadid
Good education is so important. We do need to look at the way people are taught. It not just about qualifications to get a job. It's about being educated.
Zaha Hadid
Half of architecture students are women, and you see respected, established female architects all the time.
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
You don't always have to show art in what's called a white box you can have a kind of complexity within an exhibit which actually respects the art as well.
Zaha Hadid
All the privileged can travel, see different worlds, not everyone can. I think it is important for people to have an interesting locale nearby.
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
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
From my first days studying architecture at the architectural association, I have always been interested in the concept of fragmentation and with ideas of abstraction and explosion, where we were de-constructing ideas of repetitiveness and mass production.
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
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
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
Would they call me a diva if I were a guy?
Zaha Hadid
Yes, I'm a feminist, because I see all women as smart, gifted and tough.
