Zaha Hadid. Biography, works and exhibitions

British-Iraqi architect Zaha Hadid (1950-2016) once said "Rather than a style as such, what I do is try to stay always at the forefront of innovation”. It’s a clear expression of how she became a key figure for many in the evolution of an experimental architecture that imagined the new spaces of the 21st century. Hadid conceived of her work as a transformation of the vision of the future, using innovative concepts and forms to create cutting-edge works and designs full of originality, power and vanguardism. Hadid’s architectural language possesses an indisputable personality and unique character that is usually instantly recognisable. Her expressivity resonates with her outstanding personal achievement; an immigrant of Arabic origins, she was a unique voice in a profession that was never considered appropriate for women.

Zaha Hadid & Space in Architecture

This chapter explores the importance of space to architecture. While the element of space was introduced in the previous chapter, here we’ll take an in-depth look at Zaha Hadid’s Rosenthal Center for Contemporary Art (1997-2003). We’ll analyze the different types of space this structure uses, how interior and exterior spaces are connected, and the building’s expression of a Deconstructivist architectural language.

The Goldberger chapter explores different types of architectural space, several of which are discussed in this section on Zaha Hadid. The Art Story resource provides a helpful overview of Hadid’s major works, including the Rosenthal Center for Contemporary Art, and offers additional context by discussing Hadid’s biography.

Zaha Hadid
(1950-2016)
Zaha Hadid, one of the most extraordinary figures of the architectural world, died at the age of 65 in Miami, Florida, succumbing to complications surrounding a case of bronchitis. Born in Baghdad, Iraq, she studied mathematics at the American University of Beirut. In the 1970s she enrolled at the Architectural Association in London, where she stayed to live most of her life. At AA she connected with two young professors, Rem Koolhaas and Elia Zenghelis, and assimilated their passion for the dislocated forms of constructivism. She collaborated in their recently founded Office for Metropolitan Architecture before setting up her own practice in 1979.
In the first stage of her career, scant in commissions but extremely rich in ideas, what she built was a universe of her own, one which was more artistic than architectural, and expressed in two dimensions: her large deconstructivist canvases of crystallographic landscapes and fractured topographies where, as the engineer Peter Rice later said, Zaha “wanted everything crooked”; and the construction of her p
