The relaxing energy of nature echoes through the architecture of Zaha Hadid, whose fluid forms were reminiscent of undulating rivers and dunes. Her quest for complex, flowing space turned her buildings into patterns for life in the 21st century.
"My ambition has always been to create fluid space," said the Iraqi-born British architect. "Our clients are increasingly calling for something radical. The designs became more dynamic because the projects we now build are so much larger and more complex than before - they must accommodate so many different programmes in one design. It is obviously non-Euclidean geometry."
Among the world's most internationally renowned architects, Hadid has left a mark in varied locales across the globe. She had completed about 50 projects around the world, among them the Phaeno Science Center in Wolfsburg, Germany; the London 2012 Olympic Aquatics Centre; the Shaikh Zayed Bridge in Abu Dhabi; the Guangzhou Opera House in China; the MAXXI Museum in Rome; the Riverside Museum in Scotland; the CityLife residential complex in Milan and Innovation Tower in Hong Kong.
She talked quickly in a deep voice from her London office. She was small, with a quivering energy. Yet a strong personality is evident.
Born in Baghdad in 1950, she studied maths in Beirut, then went on to England to study architecture in 1971. She lived there since.
