ZAHA HADID COMP WORKS 1979-TODAY T40 (45th Edition)

Description

Zaha Hadid (1950 - 2016) was a revolutionary architect. For years, she was widely acclaimed and won numerous prizes despite building practically nothing. Some even said her work was simply impossible to build. Yet, during the latter years of her life, Hadid’s daring visions became a reality, bringing a new and unique architectural language to cities and structures such as the Port House in Antwerp, the Al Janoub Stadium near Doha, Qatar, and the spectacular new airport terminal in Beijing . By her untimely death in 2016, Hadid was firmly established among architecture’s finest elite, working on projects in Europe, China, the Middle East, and the United States. She was the f irst female architect to win both the Pritzker Prize for architecture and the prestigious RIBA Royal Gold Medal , with her long-time Partner Patrik Schumacher now the leader of Zaha Hadid Architects and in charge of many new projects. Based on the massive TASCHEN monograph, this book is now available in an accessible edition covering Hadid’s complete works , including ongoing projects. With abundant photographs, in-depth sketches, and Hadid’s own drawings , the volume traces the evolution of her career, spanning not only her most pioneering buildings but also the furniture and interior designs that were integrated into her unique, and distinctly 21st-century, universe. “A celebration of all that is brave and audacious in her work.” — Australian Financial Review Review: Super Zusammenfassung der wichtigsten Projekte - Wer sich für moderne Architektur interessiert, passt das sehr gut in die Sammliung Review: El libro es tamaño mediano - Muy padre.
