The idea for a building or an object can come up just as quick, but there is a big difference in process.
Zaha Hadid
Image
People say I design architectural icons. If I design a building and it becomes an icon, that's ok.
Zaha Hadid
Image
There is a strong reciprocal relationship whereby our more ambitious design visions encourage the continuing development of the new digital technologies and fabrication techniques, and those new developments in turn inspire us to push the design envelope ever further.
Zaha Hadid

I think about architecture all the time. That's the problem. But I've always been like that. I dream it sometimes.
