Dame Zaha Mohammad Hadid, DBE (Arabic: زها حديد Zahā Ḥadīd; born 31 October 1950) is an Iraqi–British architect. In 2004 she became the first woman recipient of the Pritzker Architecture Prize.[1] She received the Stirling Prize in 2010 and 2011.[1] In 2012 she was made a dame.[1] In 2014 the Heydar Aliyev Cultural Centre, designed by her, won the Design Museum Design of the Year Award, making her the first woman to win the top prize in that competition.[1] In 2015 she became the first woman to be awarded the RIBA Gold Medal in her own right.[1]
Her buildings are distinctively neofuturistic, characterised by the “powerful, curving forms of her elongated structures”[2] with “multiple perspectivepoints and fragmented geometry to evoke the chaos of modern life”.[3] She is currently professor at the University of Applied Arts Vienna in Austria.[4]
