More quotes by Zaha Hadid
I think about architecture all the time. That's the problem. But I've always been like that. I dream it sometimes.
Zaha Hadid
There are some very similar moments in the early work where the focus was on drawing, abstraction and fragmentation. Then it moved to the development of ideas. Lately it has become what architecture should be, which is more fluid organization. There has not been so much 'a change' but 'a development'.
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
Of course there is a lot of fluidity now between art, architecture and fashion - a lot more cross-pollination in the disciplines, but this isn't about competition, it's about collaboration and what these practices and processes can contribute to one another.
Zaha Hadid
A brilliant design will always benefit from the input of others.
Zaha Hadid
Malevitch discovered abstraction as an experimental principle that can propel creative work to previously unheard levels of invention this abstract work allowed much greater levels of creativity.
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
Being Iraqi taught me to be very cautious.
Zaha Hadid
People don't talk to you properly. It's the way they talk to you they dismiss you. I think it's a combination of me being a woman and a foreigner.
Zaha Hadid
I made a decision when I was in school that I'd have a lot of male friends.
Zaha Hadid
The commission process in America and England is different. In America, they do it through an interview process, and it's really based on whether they like you or not. I mean, it's nothing to do with whether you do the best scheme or the worst scheme.
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
Life in the Middle East is quite different from other places.
Zaha Hadid
There are so many great galleries and museums in London, but they can be very crowded during the day.
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
It would be very interesting to design objects for everyday life, something where the ideas that are expressed can be launched into society.
Zaha Hadid
Would they call me a diva if I were a guy?
Zaha Hadid
I have always appreciated those who dare to experiment with materials and proportions.
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
