The complete Zaha Hadid

An updated monograph by the first great female architect of the 21st century

Zaha Hadid was a revolutionary architect. For years she was widely celebrated and awarded numerous awards, even though she built practically nothing. Some even claimed that it was almost impossible to implement their 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 passing in 2016, Hadid was firmly established among the highest architectural elite, working on construction projects in Europe, China, the Middle East and the United States. She was the first female architect to receive both the Pritzker Architecture Prize and the RIBA's prestigious Royal Gold Medal. Her long-time partner Patrik Schumacher now heads the office Zaha Hadid Architects.

This comprehensively updated, handy edition, based on the XXL monograph, covers all of Hadid's works through to ongoing projects. With abundant photographs, detailed sketches, and Hadid's own drawings, the volume follows her career, capturing not only her most groundbreaking buildings, but also her designs for furniture and interiors that were part of her unique world that was unmistakably 21st-century carries.
