I don't think that architecture is only about shelter, is only about a very simple enclosure. It should be able to excite you, to calm you, to make you think.
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.

The paintings have only ever been ways of exploring architecture. I don't see them as art.

I find industrial cities exciting. I like their toughness.

You really have to have a goal. The goal posts might shift, but you should have a goal. Know what it is you want to find out.

Half of architecture students are women, and you see respected, established female architects all the time.

You really have to have a goal.
Zaha Hadid

No. I don't have the patience, and I'm not very tactful. People say I can be frightening.
Zaha Hadid
Image
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
Image
I don't think that everybody in the planet should have a child. I've never had the desire I should have a kid.
Zaha Hadid

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

I am equally proud of all of my architectural projects. It's always rewarding to see an ambitious design become reality.
