Dame Zaha Mohammad Hadid was a British architect and designer of Arab descent, recognized as a leading figure in deconstructivism, who developed her own unique architectural style
Zaha’s family in Iraq belonged to the elite: her father was a major industrialist, and her mother was an artist who encouraged Zaha’s drawing skills from a young age. The girl exhibited




mathematical abilities and intelligence that she developed from a young age. Among other things, her early passion for music was nurtured by her parents. She played the piano
As she advanced her career as an architect, Zaha consistently drew connections between music and architecture, viewing these disciplines as intertwined forms of creative expression
After completing her schooling, Zaha received a bachelor's degree in mathematics from the prestigious American University in Beirut. This later
allowed her to express her passion for music
through forms,
rhythm and harmony of matter
matter embodying
which embodies movement and fluidity in architecture

In the class of the Dutch master Rem Koolhaas, known for his commitment to the most unusual forms, extravagant
style and rather bold statements
She furthered her education at the London Architectural Association, regarded as the most progressive and innovative environments for architectural thinkers at that time
He considered Zaha Hadid to be extremely talented and original, referring to her as ‘a planet with its own orbit.' Her interest in deconstructivism
was greatly
influenced by
his mentorship

"The work of the Suprematists is art without scale. When it appears it’s already architecture."

Zaha demonstrated this concept practically by indicating the scale in the drawings for her thesis project of a hotel-bridge over the Thames titled “Malevich’s Tectonics”

Despite her outstanding abilities among peers, fierce character, as well as countless
architectural contests that she won
time and again
it took many years before she
received widespread recognition
for her merit

After graduating from the Academy, Zaha didn’t work for long under the supervision of her teachers. Her character and aspirations didn’t allow her to waste time implementing other people’s ideas. This led her to establish her own architectural bureau, Zaha Hadid Architects
For her ski station models, she utilized painting as a means of expressing and interpreting the landscape, consistently increasing the scale of her work
It’s challenging to pinpoint the exact reasons for the refusal to implement her ideas, but even her design work reflected a unique approach
Finally, she deconstructed the building itself into graphic elements and created sketches using calligraphy
It seems that many clients were simply intimidated by her unconventional style and boldness, often refusing to move forward with her proposals at the last minute

//1993
Zaha waited 13 years for her first real project, even after winning numerous competitions


some of which she won multiple times.
The first building constructed according
to her design was erected in 1993 —
it was a fire station for the furniture company Vitra, notable for its flying canopy-wing that resembled the work of Soviet avant-garde artists from the 1920s.
Naturally, the work was widely criticized, but the main goal was achieved - the project was finally brought from paper to life

a constant struggle to translate my ideas into concrete
//2003
She was a bright and energetic woman, heartfelt and cheerful. She had a remarkable ability to make friends and boldly expressed her character, confidently asserting that she would not obey or listen to anyone
Hadid never married and had no children. According to Zaha herself, her family were the building projects and employees of her architectural firm. The architect lived in the center of London, not far from his office
Female success
Zaha became the embodiment of ​​a new kind of woman through a feminist lens: free, independent, and unconstrained by the traditional rules of nuclear family life. Yet, she faced failure after failure
at the time when she seemed to have gained recognition as an architect. Not everyone can endure such setbacks for many years.
Only she can be herself by completely rejecting the idea of ‘female fulfillment' that often revolves around starting a family and dedicating significant life resources to caregiving and domestic routines
My whole life has been
Rosenthal Center
Rosenthal Center for Contemporary Art in the USA
//2003
World fame came to Hadid after the construction of the Rosenthal Center for Contemporary Art in the USA
The building is integrated into the city, creating dynamic forms that foster a dialogue between the urban environment and the structures within it
A unique feature of the building was its large floor-to-ceiling windows, which invited passersby to look inside the atrium
involving them in the museum experience
The Rosenthal Museum marks the beginning of the era of Zaha’s buildings, in which her ideas begin to become apparent. However, this event was preceded by the nickname Diva, which critics and a dissatisfied public attributed to Zaha Hadid
Hadid was not confused —at the opening of the museum she dressed the bureau staff in T-shirts with the inscription “They would call me a diva if I were a man,” —with this gesture she makes a curtsy with a low bow to the femme community and wipes the nose of those who have criticized her ideas for so long
"I never expected
As an architect, Zaha had worked for 13 years before her first building became reality. Despite the fame and acclaim she achieved, along with her unique architectural style - which was often viewed as an exclusively male domain -
she went through fire and water,
but didn't give in a yota
of her talent, view and character
to the expectations of other people
recognition during my career. Prejudice and mistrust always surfaced, but most often when success seemed especially close"

From that moment on, Zaha Hadid would not experience rejection again; her buildings became a symbol of a progressive approach to architecture
Expanding
possible
Zaha Hadid continued to design one building after another, transforming cities and countries. Now, the world lay before her as a playing field, and every new step was a new building
//2010
Among Hadid’s mature works is the Guangzhou Opera House, a significant project in China that symbolizes her approach to blending architecture with its landscape. From every viewpoint, the tour offers a fresh architectural perspective
Early in her career, we see how Hadid skilfully manipulates space, creating a sense of dynamism that breathes life into structures,
giving them ‘skin’
and allowing ‘blood'
to flow through their ‘veins’
Yet, the most important moment was a shift in Hadid's understanding of architecture when she began to refer to building facades as their 'skin,’ while the famous black and white cladding and staircases represented the buildings’ ‘veins’
borders
//2012
Another example of Zaha Hadid’s sustainable vision is the stunning Heydar Aliyev Center in Baku (2012). The building seems to flow into the surrounding space, blurring the line between the structure and landscape. It has become one of Azerbaijan’s main attractions
Over the years, Zaha has been developing the idea of ​​a new space, which, from a traditional male perspective, may seem to lose functionality. She emphasized the inclusion of walking areas, open-air zones, and social initiatives in her projects
In essence, she aimed to create a non-scattered social environment that extends beyond commercial utility. A space where people can simply exist: sitting, standing. reflecting, and resting, engaging
in activities that contradict the word
"pursuit",
and consequently, efficiency
and acceleration"
In the end she admits purely
women's optics on things —her buildings are parts of a whole, scattered across the globe
//2016
End of an era
Following her death, her firm, Zaha Hadid Architects, continues to bring her ideas and projects to life. Her team remains one of the most innovative in the world
Zaha Hadid died in 2016, completely unexpectedly for the architectural community and herself
Inspired by her vision, architects continue to develop Hadid's ideas, creating unique projects that meet
her philosophy
Another piece of the puzzle in the development of women’s architecture: two months after Zaha’s passing,
partner Peter Schumacher, began voicing ideas that seemed alien to the architectural community. He suggested that social housing should be replaced with elite business-class buildings
This marked a stark contrast in approaches: the male-centric idea revolves around high-end development that can be replicated and capitalized to an extreme extent
In contrast, Zaha Hadid sought to advance concepts of form and beauty, ensuring that her buildings
lived and communicated with both urban
environments and people
in a meaningful way
The most significant aspect of Zaha's work, which she courageously articulated through her step-by-step design process, isn't solely about a totally new approach to working with space
into a vision of unity and embodiment
this is one of her most important contributions
It exemplifies what it means to be a woman
bringing a feminine perspective and realizing
a woman's view of the world
Zaha made dialogue between buildings, people, and space possible, transforming the notion of separation -often associated with masculine approaches
