I always thought I was powerful, since I was a kid.
Zaha Hadid
I loved London. In the 1970s... it was very exciting, really wild.
Zaha Hadid
People often ask me if I consider myself to be an architect, fashion designer, or artist. I'm an architect. The paintings I've done are very important to me, but they were part of a process of thinking and developing.
Zaha Hadid
I've always been interested in combining architecture with a social agenda, and I really think you can invest and be inventive with hospitals and housing.
Zaha Hadid
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.
Zaha Hadid
For many years, I hated nature. As a student, I refused to put a plant anywhere - a living plant, that is. Dead plants were OK.
Zaha Hadid
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
The paintings have only ever been ways of exploring architecture. I don't see them as art.
Zaha Hadid
Too many are too obsessed by method. it becomes a dogma.
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
Women are always told, 'You're not going to make it, its too difficult, you can't do that, don't enter this competition, you'll never win it,' - they need confidence in themselves and people around them to help them to get on.
Zaha Hadid
In hospital, people should be able to have time to themselves.
Zaha Hadid
Wherever I am in the world, my perfect day begins with waking up and heading to the beach or the pool or somewhere I can be semi-comatose. I just wake up and go to the sun.
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
No. I don't have the patience, and I'm not very tactful. People say I can be frightening.
Zaha Hadid
The idea for a building or an object can come up just as quick, but there is a big difference in process.
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
People say I design architectural icons. If I design a building and it becomes an icon, that's ok.
Zaha Hadid
They all come out from the same thing all the projects are connected somehow.
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.
