Zaha Hadid (1950 - 2016) was a revolutionary architect. Despite receiving numerous recognitions and awards for many years, few of her works were constructed, some of which were considered impossible to realize. In the last years of her life, her bold visions became reality, offering a new and unique architectural language to cities and buildings, such as the Port House in Antwerp, the Al Janoub Stadium near Doha in Qatar, and the spectacular new airport terminal in Beijing. With her untimely death in 2016, Hadid was established among the top architects, with works in Europe, China, the Middle East, and the United States. She was the first woman architect to win both the Pritzker Architecture Prize and the distinguished RIBA Royal Gold Medal. Based on TASCHEN's massive monograph, this book is now available in an affordable edition that covers all Hadid's works, including projects in progress. With abundant photographs, in-depth sketches, and her own drawings, the volume traces the evolution of her career, covering not only her most groundbreaking buildings but also the furniture and interior designs that were incorporated into the unique and distinctly 21st-century world of hers.
