Zaha Hadid

I am an architect, artist and designer. I use painting as a design tool and abstraction as a method to reopen the untested experiments of Modernism and find new fields of building.

I design buildings that refuse the right angle

I treat art and design as one practice: the painting comes first, and the building follows the idea it uncovers.

Architecture of the late 20th and early 21st centuries, shaped by Suprematism, the Russian avant-garde and my training in mathematics and at the Architectural Association.
