More quotes by Zaha Hadid
The conservative values that are emerging, it may not effect architecture immediately but it will effect society and that's what worries me.
Zaha Hadid
Contrary to popular view, I've never been patronized in the Middle East. Men maybe treat women differently, but they do not treat them with disrespect. They don't hate women. It's a very different kind of mentality.
Zaha Hadid
I really believe in the idea of the future.
Zaha Hadid
I don't like the masculine style, jeans. I like issey miyake... and black dresses.
Zaha Hadid
It would be very interesting to design objects for everyday life, something where the ideas that are expressed can be launched into society.
Zaha Hadid
People say I design architectural icons. If I design a building and it becomes an icon, that's ok.
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
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
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
It's not my duty as an architect to look at it.
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 like music. Country, hip-hop, R&B, sometimes classical.
Zaha Hadid
No. I don't have the patience, and I'm not very tactful. People say I can be frightening.
Zaha Hadid
There are so many great galleries and museums in London, but they can be very crowded during the day.
Zaha Hadid
With products the form is almost the finished piece, but with architecture it is not.
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.
Zaha Hadid
I always thought I was powerful, since I was a kid.
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
Architecture is how the person places herself in the space. Fashion is about how you place the object on the person.
Zaha Hadid
When women do succeed, the press, even the industry press, spend far too much time talking about how we dress, what shoes we're wearing, who we're meant to be seeing. That's pretty sad for women, especially when it's written by women who really should know better.
