The complete Zaha Hadid
An updated monograph of the first great female architect of the 21st century
Zaha Hadid was a revolutionary architect. For years she was widely acclaimed and awarded numerous prizes, even though she built practically nothing. Some even claimed that it was almost impossible to realize her designs. Nevertheless, Hadid's visions became reality in her later years, bringing a new, unique architectural vocabulary to cities and projects such as the Port House in Antwerp, the Al Janoub Stadium near Doha in Qatar and the impressive new airport building in Beijing.
At the time of her untimely death in 2016, Hadid was firmly established among the highest architectural elite, working on building projects in Europe, China, the Middle East and the United States. She was the first architect to receive both the Pritzker Architecture Prize and the prestigious RIBA Royal Gold Medal. Her partner of many years, Patrik Schumacher, now heads Zaha Hadid Architects.
This comprehensively updated, handy edition, based on the XXL monograph, covers all of Hadid's works up to and including current projects. With copious photographs, detailed sketches and Hadid's own drawings, the volume follows her career, covering not only her most groundbreaking buildings, but also her designs for furniture and interiors, which were part of her unique world that bears the unmistakable stamp of the 21st century.
