A chidhood dream

A British of Iraqi descent was born in Baghdad in 1950. Her father was a very successful entrepreneur who gave his children a good upbringing and education. Zaha said that only thanks to him, she realized herself as an architect.

Even in her childhood with her parents she visited the Sumerian ruins, which made an indelible impression on her. As a little girl, she swore to herself that she would devote her life to building unusual buildings.

Unreadiness of customers to implement projects Hadid

At the age of 18 she left Iraq to continue her studies in Lebanon, where she studied mathematics. After that, she enters the London Architectural Association, after which she establishes her own firm, becoming the most famous lady-architect in the whole world. She won many prestigious competitions, but the main problem was that the customers were not ready for her non-standard projects. Creativity "architect on paper" was not in demand, but Zacha did not lose heart, but continued to work.

Serious coil up

In 1997, the situation changes radically. It was then that the Museum of Contemporary Art in Bilbao was built. The Spanish building was designed by F. Gehry, working in the same style with Hadid - deconstructivism, which was called surrealism in architecture. Complex, futuristic forms of buildings with wrong lines aggressively invaded the urban massif. After that the studio of the british woman was filled up with orders. Zaha proved that even the most fantastic ideas are realized, becoming works of contemporary art.

Sheikh Zayd's Bridge

In 2010, the Sheikh Zayd's bridge was solemnly designed, which was designed by Zaha Hadid. Attractions, its created, always struck a certain scale. This design was no exception.

It is built in the form of a huge deck of a ship, which is "washed" by three snow-white high arches that resemble sand dunes in form. Or waves. A stunning construction with a throughput of 16 thousand cars per hour is fascinating with its grandeur. And in the evening, the symbol of the country's development is beautifully illuminated, forcing even the local people to admire the spectacular spectacle.

Transport Museum in Glasgow

The appearance in the largest city of Scotland, Glasgow, the transport museum was another proof of the professionalism of the studio, which was directed by Zaha Hadid. Attractions of her always evoked delight. This structure pleased the visitors with its original form. And got the highest rating not only from fellow architects, but also from the press.

More than three thousand exhibits are located on the vast territory of the exhibition complex, which tells about the origin of transport in Glasgow. Because of the ceiling of an unusual shape that goes to the floor, the construction of five tunnels, presented in the form of brilliant silvery waves, and a futuristic building moored at the entrance of an old sailboat, was compared to a giant iceberg.

German Museum of Science and Technology

In Germany, the largest project is the Museum of Science and Technology in Wolfsburg, made of self-compacting concrete, which was first used by Zaha Hadid. Sightseeing (photo is presented in the article), which received a prestigious award, became the author's favorite complex. A talented woman admitted that this is the most complete work of all previously erected.

The scientific center with the experimental stations located inside from a distance resembles a spaceship, easily floating above the ground.

BMW factory

The building, presented to the public in 2005, critics called "the hymn of modern industry". Part of the plant and BMW's office center is another successful project that Zaha Hadid carried out. The sights of the perfect architectural design meet all industrial requirements. And the uniqueness of the project consists in a harmonious combination of the external attractiveness of the brilliant complex and the huge number of internal premises in which daily production processes occur.

The architecture of the talented British was once unknown in Russia, but after Barvikha had an incredible structure ordered by billionaire V. Doronin, the name of the genius recognized during his lifetime began to rattle everywhere.

The mansion, more reminiscent of an unidentified flying object, rises above the rest of the buildings of the rich. From the tall tower there is a picturesque view of the local nature, and the room itself stores a huge number of rooms for guests, three types of baths, luxurious living rooms designed by Zaha Hadid. The sights, designed by her, often became symbols of this or that place. This mansion, built in the days when Doronin lived with supermodel N. Campbell, has now become the main futuristic object of Barvikha.

Huge loss
