More quotes by Zaha Hadid
When I first came to Guangzhou in 1981, it seemed such a hard and dour place with everyone in Chairman Mao uniforms.
Zaha Hadid
It was such a depressing time. I didn't look very depressed, maybe, but it was really dire. I made a conscious decision not to stop, but it could have gone the other way.
Zaha Hadid
I don't use the computer. I do sketches, very quickly, often more than 100 on the same formal research.
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 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.
Zaha Hadid
There are so many great galleries and museums in London, but they can be very crowded during the day.
Zaha Hadid
I made a decision when I was in school that I'd have a lot of male friends.
Zaha Hadid
For many years, I hated nature. As a student, I refused to put a plant anywhere - a living plant, that is. Dead plants were OK.
Zaha Hadid
In hospital, people should be able to have time to themselves.
Zaha Hadid
Would they call me a diva if I were a guy?
Zaha Hadid
I like music. Country, hip-hop, R&B, sometimes classical.
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
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
The current state of architecture and design requires extensive collaboration and an investigative attitude and we continue to research and develop new technologies.
Zaha Hadid
You really have to have a goal.
Zaha Hadid
Architecture is like writing. You have to edit it over and over so it looks effortless
Zaha Hadid
It's very important for cities all around the world to reinvent themselves, and Glasgow is a good example of that. The Scots are very nice. I don't think they are burdened by their history.
Zaha Hadid
I loved London. In the 1970s... it was very exciting, really wild.
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
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.
