First U.S. edition, four vols., various sizes, 240; [112]; [96]; 127 pp. Pritzker Prize-winning architect Zaha Hadid "combines painting, projective geometry, perspective, model building, now computer renderings and smooth curvaceous geometric surfaces into the masses, interiors and structure of her buildings.

About this title

Synopsis

Having trained and lectured at London's prestigious Architectural Association and worked with Rem Koolhaas in his Office for Metropolitan Architecture, Zaha Hadid opened her own practice in 1987, and since then she has gained worldwide recognition for her bold and original vision. Long admired for her dazzling "paper architecture," in recent years Hadid has won much critical and popular acclaim with her built work, and this volume features such celebrated high-profile projects as the Vitra Fire Station in Weil am Rhein, Germany, the Mind Zone at the Millennium Dome outside of London, and the legendary Monsoon Bar in Tokyo. With the completion in 2003 of the Contemporary Arts Center in Cincinnati, Hadid achieved the distinction of being the only woman to have ever designed a major American museum. This comprehensive monograph offers a complete overview
of Hadid's work-from her designs, drawings, and paintings to her sketches,
plans, and models.

Review

'This publication captures Hadid's agile vision in four-channel quadrophonic images, texts, drawings and photographs better than any other monograph or publication to date' - Greg Lynn
