I am quite sensitive to politics, because you know, as an Arab, an Iraqi, all your life, you are very conscious of it.
Zaha Hadid
Image
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.

There are so many great galleries and museums in London, but they can be very crowded during the day.
Zaha Hadid
Image
With products the form is almost the finished piece, but with architecture it is not.
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'.

The goal posts might shift, but you should have a goal.

Architecture is unnecessarily difficult. It's very tough.

I like music. Country, hip-hop, R&B, sometimes classical.

As a woman you're not accessible to every world.
Zaha Hadid
Image
I don't particularly like showing furniture on pedestals, but for whatever reasons you always have to in museums.
Zaha Hadid
Image
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
Image
Yes, I'm a feminist, because I see all women as smart, gifted and tough.
Zaha Hadid
Image
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
Image
When I was growing up in Iraq, there was an unbroken belief in progress and a great sense of optimism. It was a moment of nation building.
Zaha Hadid
Image
No. I don't have the patience, and I'm not very tactful. People say I can be frightening.
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.

You have to really believe not only in yourself you have to believe that the world is actually worth your sacrifices.
Zaha Hadid
Image
I will always have two regrets. I don't have a presence in London, and I would have liked to have done more work in the Middle East.
Zaha Hadid
Image
I've always thought that design can have equal importance to the idea of internal architecture. Professionally, things can be very dogmatic - you do the architecture, someone else does the interiors, someone else does the furniture, the fabric, etc. But I think design is all-encompassing.

My father was a politician, and a very important politician, and one of the leaders of the Iraqi Democratic Party, who believed in progress.
