From an Olympic ski jump to the world's largest airport terminal, this comprehensive book contains the complete works of Dame Zaha Hadid (1950–2016), one of the great architects of the 21st century and the first woman to win the Pritzker Prize. With stunning photographs, detailed descriptions, and original drawings, explore the life and philosophy of the Queen of the Curve.

A Revolutionary Vision:

For years, Zaha Hadid 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 around the world.

Iconic Projects Include:

• Port House in Antwerp
• Al Janoub Stadium near Doha, Qatar
• Beijing Airport Terminal
• Olympic ski jumps and stadiums
• Pioneering buildings across Europe, China, the Middle East, and the United States
• Integrated furniture and interior designs

A Historic Legacy:

By her untimely death in 2016, Hadid was firmly established among architecture's finest elite. She was the first female architect to win both the Pritzker Prize for architecture and the prestigious RIBA Royal Gold Medal. Her long-time Partner Patrik Schumacher now leads Zaha Hadid Architects, continuing her visionary work.
