Zaha Hadid Architects

Zaha Hadid is an architect who consistently pushes the boundaries of architecture and urban design. Her work experiments with new spatial concepts intensifying existing urban landscapes in the pursuit of a visionary aesthetic that encompasses all fields of design, ranging from urban scale through to products, interiors and
furniture. Best known for her seminal built works (Vitra Fire Station, Land ormation-One, Bergisel Ski Jump, Strasbourg Tram Station and Rosenthal Centre for contemporary Art in Cincinnati) her central concerns involve a simultaneous engagement in practice, teaching and research.





Zaha Hadid was the Laureate of the Pritzker Architecture Prize back in 2004, becoming the first woman to be named for this award in 26 years of the Prize.



The 2008 Pritzker Architecture Prize Laureate was none other than Jean Nouvel of Paris, France, who came to international attention with the completion of his Institut du Monde Arabe (usually referred to as IMA) in 1987.
