Zaha Hadid (1950-2016) was a world renown architect who consistently pushed the boundaries of architecture and urban design. Each of her dynamic and innovative projects built on over thirty years of revolutionary experimentation and research in the interrelated fields of urbanism, architecture and design. Her work encompassed all fields of design, ranging from the urban scale through to products, interiors, and furniture. Her paintings and drawings have always been an important testing field and a medium for the exploration of her design. Hadid’s interest laid in the rigorous interface between architecture, landscape and geology as her practice integrates natural topography and human-made systems paired with experimentation with cutting-edge technologies. Along with her architectural partner Patrik Schumacher, Hadid originated the Parametricism style, a new spatial concept that intensify existing urban landscapes and interiors in the pursuit of a visionary aesthetic. Zaha Hadid is best known for her seminal built works including: Guangzhou Opera House (Guangzhou, Guangdong, China), Zaragoza Bridge Pavilion (Zaragoza, Spain), Vitra Fire Station (Weil am Rhein, Germany), Land Formation-One (Weil am Rhein, Germany),

Bergisel Ski Jump (Innsbruck, Austria), Rosenthal Centre for Contemporary Art (Cincinnati, U.S.A.), Riverside Museum of Transport Glasgow (Glasgow, Scotland) and MAXXI – National Museum of 21st Century Art (Rome, Italy). In Autumn 2014 the Wangjing Soho Beijing and the Sky Soho Shanghai in China will open. Zaha Hadid was awarded the Pritzker Architecture Prize in 2004, and received the RIBA Stirling Prize twice, in 2010 and 2011. She won the Design of the Year Award 2014 for the Heydar Aliyev Center in Baku, Azerbaijan. In 2014 the London Aquatic Centre was shortlisted for the RIBA Stirling Price. Zaha Hadid‘s work also forms part of the permanent collections of various institutions such as MoMA (New York, USA), MoMA (San Francisco, USA)  and Deutsches Architektur Museum, (Frankfurt am Main, Germany). Her work has been the subject of many prestigious museum exhibitions around the world including the MAK – Museum for Applied Arts (Vienna, Austria), Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum (New York, USA), the Institut du Monde Arabe (Paris, France) and the Serpentine Pavilion (London, UK) to name a few.
