 Dame Zaha Mohammad Hadid, (born 31
October 1950) is an Iraqi-British architect.

 She received the Pritzker Architecture

Prize in 2004—the first woman to do so—and
the Stirling Prize in 2010 and 2011.

 Her buildings are distinctively futuristic,

characterized by the "powerful, curving
forms of her elongated structures" with
"multiple perspective points and fragmented
geometry to evoke the chaos of modern life".
 Zahahadid is a London-based architectural
designer whose work encompasses all fields
of design ranging from the urban scale to
products, interiors, and furniture.

 Centralto her concerns is a simultaneous

engagement in practice, teaching and
research, in the pursuit of an
uncompromising commitment to modernism.
 Well-known for her paintings and drawings, she has
had a substantial influence, despite having built
relatively few buildings.

 She has completed the Vitra Fire station; and

exhibition designs such as those for “The Great
Utopia”; and made a proposal for the 2012 Olympic
village, New York.

 Hadid’s built work has won her much academic and

public acclaim. Her best known projects to date are
the Vitra Fire Station and the LF One pavilion in Weil
am Rhein, Germany; a housing project for IBA-Block
2, Berlin; and the Mind Zone at the Millennium Dome
in Greenwich, London.
 Firstinternational design work of Zaha Hadid
 Demonstrates her technique of mixing
polygons with triangular structures
 Location - Weil am Rhein, Germany
 Intention was to deploy elements of the
project so that would not be lost among the
huge sheds of the ships that make up the
factory.
 These elements are also used to structure
the entire site, giving identity and rhythm to
the main street that runs through the
complex.
 It was conceived as a longitudinal garden, as
if it were the artificial extension of the
linear patterns of the adjacent farmland and
vineyards.
 Was not designed as an isolated object, but
developed as the outer edge of the garden
area, defining the space rather than
occupying space.
 Space, defining and accommodating the
functions of the building, was the starting
point for the development of architectural
concept, a linear series and stratified.
 It is a sealed building front, their interiors can
only be sensed from a perpendicular viewpoint.
 The resulting spaces, obtained by using
perforated walls, bent or broken, according to
functional requirements, provide fleeting vision
of what is housed inside.
 The entire building is freezing motion.
 This expresses the tension of being on the alert,
and the potential to explode into action at any
time.
 The walls seem to glide past each other, while
large sliding doors are literally a moving wall.
 The partition is minimized, articulating the
spaces with three longitudinal stainless steel
cabinets that separate the transparent area of
the service area.
 Second floor is rotated with respect to the
bottom and it is accessed by a stepladder
independent.
 It placed a club composed of a staff training
room and conference.
 Blades or wedges are concrete walls and roof
pitch in new directions give a strong sense of
the dynamism of this reinforced concrete
structure was created based on walls, in
spaces arise.
 Constructed with reinforced concrete in situ
in the light, avoiding any added that distort
the simplicity of its prismatic form and the
abstract quality of the architectural concept,
paying particular attention to the sharpness
of the edges.
 The lack of detail was also applied on the
inside, rough opening frames, polished
aluminium sliding planes that close the
garage area, guard rails or lighting design,
maintaining a consistent language that gives
meaning to the whole.
