	Zaha Hadid / Zaha Hadid Architecture and Design : Architect (1950-) - Design/Designer Information
		The opening words of the citation when Zaha Hadid was named as the first woman to win the prestigious Pritzker Prize for architecture in 2004 were: “Her architectural career has not been traditional or easy.” An understatement.
		Hadid’s father was a politician, economist and industrialist, a co-founder of the Iraqi National Democratic and a leader of the Iraqi Progressive Democratic Parties.
		Hadid was picked as part of the seminal Deconstructivist Architecture exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art, New York, the first definitive survey of the new generation.

		As a result of her achievements Hadid was honoured with a CBE in 2002 and is the current recipient of architecture's most prestigious prize, the Laureate of the Pritzker Architecture Prize, 2004.
		Hadid's exploration of her architectural vision by means of dramatically expressive paintings and drawings, inspired by a love of calligraphy, has also contributed in no small part to her success.

	Guardian Unlimited \| Arts features \| Look what I built
		Hadid is indeed a rare phenomenon, and not only because she is a woman architect breaking through at the very top of her profession.
		Zaha Hadid knows how to play the celebrity, but there are other aspects to her work, as I saw during an earlier visit to her studio in an old school in London's Clerkenwell.
		Hadid has her own peerless way of fulminating about "retards" and raising her eyes to the heavens in exquisite demonstrations of impatience, but she is also, as her colleagues insist, good with people - getting the best out of them and encouraging independent initiative.

	Zaha Hadid on the trials of being a woman architect \| \| Guardian Unlimited Arts
		Hadid has become an international celebrity in the world of architecture; quite why Britain has been starved of her magic is a puzzle.
		Hadid is feeling under the weather, she says, the inevitable result of having to jet backwards and forwards to the US.
		Hadid has even been able to add excitement to one of the world's most thrilling sports: her Bergisel ski-jump at Innsbruck is a superb match for the performances of those who dare to launch themselves down, and off, its glacial, vertiginous course.

	Zaha Hadid, winner of the Pritzker Prize. - By Christopher Hawthorne - Slate Magazine
		Hadid, born in Baghdad in 1950 but based in London for her entire career, has had a reputation as a diva, a big woman with a bigger intellect and an even more gigantic personality.
		The cult of obscurity that surrounded Hadid hardly distinguished her from her colleagues in the architectural avant-garde—or, for that matter, in the artistic or literary ones.
		For decades, architects like Hadid and their champions in the academy have discussed architecture in writing where jargon operates as a kind of code, keeping amateurs confused and thus, for the most part, comfortably out of the way.

	Race Matters - Zaha Hadid's Urban Mothership
		Hadid has described the museum as a ''catalog of spaces.'' The galleries are not neutral white boxes.
		For many of Hadid's generation, for whom uprootedness is the social norm, the city has become a surrogate in later life for the good enough mother, architecture the medium through which we ourselves enact the nurturing role.
		Hadid's experiences as a woman and a native of the Middle East have sharpened her insights into that phenomenon.

	Zaha Hadid: Architecture
		Hadid's architectural conceptions confound one with impossibilities, with floating buildings, indecipherable volumes, untraceable paths of light, spaces seemingly less related to real, livable space than something from a virtual dimension.
		Zaha Hadid: Architecture, published on the occasion of the exhibition of the same name at the MAK, Vienna, documents the architect's newest projects and presents an extensive overview of her complete oeuvre.
		Included are illustrations of designs, models, and mostly unpublished paintings by Hadid, as well as photographs of buildings realized and under construction, thus granting profound insight into all stages of project development from the abstract concept to its technical implementation.

		Hadid is often referred to as a diva - the stories are legion of her marching into the hairdressers and demanding that she be serviced instantly, being chauffeur-driven round town in her privately-owned fl cab, telling powerbrokers where to stick it.

		On March 12th 1999, Zaha Hadid won the competition for the contemporary art museum, a satellite project to the existing Museum of Modern Art in Rome.
		Zaha Hadid is among the few who could rise to this challenge with a certain exhilaration which is yet to be matched in contemporary architecture: her vision, revision and her absolute need for inventiveness, The art of architecture, observed John Soane, is the art of invention which is as difficult as it is painful.
		Curiously, Zaha Hadid´s Museum of Contemporary Art conceived among other things as marking the Jubilee, perhaps the largest intrusion of alien wisdom which ever made a successful claim on pagan Rome.

		Hadid was born in a prosperous suburb of Baghdad in 1950, which in those days had its own garden cities (in magnificent direct descent from Babylon rather than Letchworth or Welwyn).
		Hadid had a cosmopolitan education: the family wintered in Beirut, the 'Paris of the Middle East', mixed with Christians and Jews and she read about heroic American architecture of the Fifties and Sixties in the pages of Time and Life magazines.
		For a long time, Hadid seemed to be the inheritor of this bizarre tradition of becoming famous for what she had not built.

	Contemporary Arts Center Cincinnati by Zaha Hadid
		In fact, Hadid seems to have almost completely abstained from the extremes she is known for in the Contemporary Arts Center, opting instead for more traditionally shaped volumes.
		This slight shift towards more conventional shapes (if it is possible to call it that) and away from the razor-sharp points and overhangs that she used previously in buildings such as her Vitra Fire station is mostly apparent in the façade.
		Hadid still manages to give us some of the tricks she is well known for.
