Know what it is that you are trying to find out.

Education, housing and hospitals are the most important things for society.

There are so many great galleries and museums in London, but they can be very crowded during the day.
Zaha Hadid
Image
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'.

I find industrial cities exciting. I like their toughness.

I have been interested in fashion since I was a kid. Then I lived in London, where it was more about costume and a personal statement of who you are than about fashion.

You really have to have a goal.

The spirit of adventure to embrace the new and the incredible belief in the power of invention attracted me to the Russian avant-garde.

I am eccentric, I admit it, but I am not a nutcase.

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.

Image
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.

When women do succeed, the press, even the industry press, spend far too much time talking about how we dress, what shoes we're wearing, who we're meant to be seeing. That's pretty sad for women, especially when it's written by women who really should know better.

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
Image
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.

Image
In hospital, people should be able to have time to themselves.

I really love Miami, but I don't think the architecture matches the city. It's a bit too commercial.
Zaha Hadid
Image
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.

Architecture is unnecessarily difficult. It's very tough.

What's similar between Britain and America is the lack of good-quality civic buildings.

I love driving around east London - it's always full of surprises. Actually, I don't drive myself - I like to be driven.
