Remembering Zaha Hadid


April 5, 2016

Renowned Iraqi-British architect Zaha Hadid passed away last week at the age of 65, leaving behind a tremendous legacy that included being the first woman and Muslim to receive the prestigious Pritzker Architecture Prize. She was well known for her pioneering efforts in parametricism and was also considered an icon of neo-futurism. Some of her notable works include the Guangzhou, China opera house and the aquatic center designed for the 2012 Olympic Games in London.

Born in 1950 in the city of Baghdad, Hadid originally studied mathematics before she moved to London in 1972 and began her studies at the Architectural Association School of Architecture. After honing her skills, Hadid would go on to open her own Zaha Hadid Architects practice in 1980, also based in London and she began teaching in the mid-1980s at the Harvard Graduate School of Design. Her various efforts would earn her honorary membership at the American Academy of Arts and Letters and an honorary fellow of the American Institute of Architects.

Prior to her death, Hadid had also designed the One Thousand Museum high-rise condominium in Miami that’s currently under construction. The sixty story building has gained attention for its unique exoskeleton allowing fewer columns within the building and it may also include a helipad as part of its amenities. Upon completion, it will be one of the tallest buildings in Miami at 700 feet.
