More quotes by Zaha Hadid
The idea for a building or an object can come up just as quick, but there is a big difference in process.
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
Women are always told, 'You're not going to make it, its too difficult, you can't do that, don't enter this competition, you'll never win it,' - they need confidence in themselves and people around them to help them to get on.
Zaha Hadid
I don't use the computer. I do sketches, very quickly, often more than 100 on the same formal research.
Zaha Hadid
Malevitch discovered abstraction as an experimental principle that can propel creative work to previously unheard levels of invention this abstract work allowed much greater levels of creativity.
Zaha Hadid
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
Would they call me a diva if I were a guy?
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
If I'm in london it can be different than if I'm somewhere else.
Zaha Hadid
I don't particularly like showing furniture on pedestals, but for whatever reasons you always have to in museums.
Zaha Hadid
The paintings have only ever been ways of exploring architecture. I don't see them as art.
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.
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
I think about architecture all the time. That's the problem. But I've always been like that. I dream it sometimes.
Zaha Hadid
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.
Zaha Hadid
As a woman you're not accessible to every world.
Zaha Hadid
In terms of form, all the projects interest me equally, although there are obviously large differences according to the scale and process of each project.
Zaha Hadid
I am equally proud of all of my architectural projects. It's always rewarding to see an ambitious design become reality.
Zaha Hadid
I find industrial cities exciting. I like their toughness.
Zaha Hadid
I am eccentric, I admit it, but I am not a nutcase.
