More quotes by Zaha Hadid
One has to strive for a very open liberal society.
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 a woman to go out alone into architecture is still very, very hard. It's still a man's world.
Zaha Hadid
I don't use the computer. I do sketches, very quickly, often more than 100 on the same formal research.
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
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
In hospital, people should be able to have time to themselves.
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
It's not my duty as an architect to look at it.
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
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
I love driving around east London - it's always full of surprises. Actually, I don't drive myself - I like to be driven.
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.
Zaha Hadid
You really have to have a goal.
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
My work first engaged with the early russian avant-garde the paintings of moholy-nagy, el lissitzky's 'prouns' and naum gabo's sculptures, but in particular with the work of kasimir malevitch - he was an early influence for me as a representative of the modern avant-garde intersection between art and design.
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
I really love Miami, but I don't think the architecture matches the city. It's a bit too commercial.
Zaha Hadid
A brilliant design will always benefit from the input of others.
Zaha Hadid
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.
Zaha Hadid
