Zaha Hadid (1950- 2016) was one of the most innovative and celebrated architects of our time. This comprehensive survey of over two hundred projectsfrom her earliest experimentations to product design, from speculative follies to large- scale built worksis a testament to the depth, range, and inventiveness of her vision.
This compact and comprehensive edition has been thoroughly expanded and brought up to date with the latest completed buildings and Hadids final projects. Prepared in collaboration with the architects office, the book contains a dazzling array of imagery, including large- scale paintings, sculpture- like models, multi-perspective drawings, and dynamic computer renderings. Organized chronologically over Hadids career, this volume reveals her earliest inspirations and also includes the last projects she worked on, such as the Dongdaemun Design Plaza in Seoul, the Dominion Office Building in Moscow, and the Port House in Antwerp. Critic and museum director Aaron Betskys introduction examines Hadids entire career, both in the context of architectural history and as a manifestation of the current and future state of architecture.
