More quotes by 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
There are so many great galleries and museums in London, but they can be very crowded during the day.
Zaha Hadid
Half of architecture students are women, and you see respected, established female architects all the time.
Zaha Hadid
One has to strive for a very open liberal society.
Zaha Hadid
Life in the Middle East is quite different from other places.
Zaha Hadid
I have always appreciated those who dare to experiment with materials and proportions.
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
Indeed, our designs become more ambitious as we see the new possibilities created by the technology of other industries.
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
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
Education, housing and hospitals are the most important things for society.
Zaha Hadid
I don't think that architecture is only about shelter, is only about a very simple enclosure. It should be able to excite you, to calm you, to make you think.
Zaha Hadid
All the privileged can travel, see different worlds, not everyone can. I think it is important for people to have an interesting locale nearby.
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 think about architecture all the time. That's the problem. But I've always been like that. I dream it sometimes.
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
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
Architecture is how the person places herself in the space. Fashion is about how you place the object on the person.
Zaha Hadid
I really believe in the idea of the future.
Zaha Hadid
I am sure that as a woman I can do a very good skyscraper.
