More quotes by Zaha Hadid
Of course I believe imaginative architecture can make a difference to people's lives, but I wish it was possible to divert some of the effort we put into ambitious museums and galleries into the basic architectural building blocks of society.
Zaha Hadid
I made a decision when I was in school that I'd have a lot of male friends.
Zaha Hadid
You really have to have a goal.
Zaha Hadid
The beauty of the landscape - where sand, water, reeds, birds, buildings, and people all somehow flowed together - has never left me.
Zaha Hadid
When you are overworked and exhausted, there is a sense of kind of delirium and that's why I think architects do all-nighters and they kind of do those deadlines. For four days I remember doing four nights in one row with no sleep. I mean nobody, unless you are crazy, would do that, but you are totally focused on the project.

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
I am eccentric, I admit it, but I am not a nutcase.
Zaha Hadid
I always thought I was powerful, since I was a kid.
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
My father was a politician, and a very important politician, and one of the leaders of the Iraqi Democratic Party, who believed in progress.
Zaha Hadid
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.
Zaha Hadid
I can't focus when there's too many things around. Whenever I used to go to the office, I used to always say, 'Tidy up.'
Zaha Hadid
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.
