Since I started studying architecture, I asked myself why I’ve never heard about a successful female architect, until one day a teacher spoke to me about Zaha Hadid.
She was
born on October 31, 1950. In 1972 she traveled to London to study at the
Architectural Association, and she met the architects with whom she would
collaborate as a partner at the Office of Metropolitan Architecture, Rem
Koolhaas and Elia Zenghelis. Then in 1979, Hadid established her own
London-based firm, Zaha Hadid Architects (ZHA). Over the years she won many
awards in the field of architecture, becoming the first woman to win many of
them.
Her
projects are characterized by aggressive geometric designs, she was the first
woman in design an American museum, the Lois & Richard Rosenthal Center for
Contemporary Art in Cincinnati, Ohio. She has made train stations, arts and
science centers, an opera house, universities, among others.
I like her
because she changed the vision of architecture through her designs, she went
beyond architecture, making interior designs, furniture, clothing, and
different objects. I also admire her very much for all the awards she won,
being the first woman in many of them.
Hello Antonia, omg just today I was reading in a book of feminist innovative women about Zara Hadid, it is a coincidence !! The truth is that I found her biography and what she has done to her very interesting and admirable, and precisely for you that she is an expert in your career.

Hi Antonia!
ReplyDeleteI think it's a good summary of his life. Personally, I think her designs are very interesting and I also think that she is an admirable woman. She was one of the first female architects to make her way into a male-dominated profession.
Maybe I don't like her way of conceiving architecture (I don't like OMA either), but I think her work is also very valuable, especially in terms of the designs she created.
Hi Antonia, I also heard the first time about Zaha Hadid from my teacher, he told us the story when he met her once. She was a truly inspired architect and her works are magnificent.
ReplyDeleteHello dear Antonia, I didn't know Zaha Hadid, I don't study architecture but I still like her, I think I will start to follow her work.
