Zara Hadid 

Zara Hadid is a British architect who was born on October 31, 1950. Zara is famously known for her neofuturistic architecture and this has allowed her to win numerous awards such as the RIBA Gold Medal and the Stirling Prize. Along with those accolades, Zara Hadid was also the first woman to be awarded the Pritzker Architecture Prize.

Zara was born in Baghdad it is said that she grew up in one of Baghdad's first Bauhaus-inspired buildings and this could have been part of the influences on her work today. 

Within Zara's Career, she worked with the likes of Rem Koolhaas, Ella Zenghells, and Bernard Tschumi which are all renowned architects. 

Examples of Zara's work:




Zara Hadid has designed many buildings in her lifetime and this has allowed many people to form their own opinion about her work and some seem to think that "her aggressive geometric designs are characterised by a sense of fragmentation, instability, and movement". Zara has been classed as a "paper architect" and this due to the fact that her designs were too "avant-garde" to get past being drawn to actually being built.

Personally I quite like Zara Hadid's works and this is because her works have that futuristic look I would really like to implement into my final piece and this is seen within many of her pieces which have very fluid forms. I think that many of her buildings are easy on the eye, whilst being eye catching at the same time and this allows for careful analysing of the structure of her buildings. Also, I think that her buildings have come from thinking outside the box which has allowed her to create buildings which are not like the typical building of today, I feel that her buildings are able to be accepted in the society of today but can also be seen as futuristic and would still be accepted in the world of the future because the way the world is going, everything is looking more and more futuristic and her buildings seem to be ahead of the game.
