Is Architecture Industry still a male-dominated world? Zaha Hadid breaks this stereotype. Her name represents the future of architecture with strong and unique style – cutting-edge style, sharp linear, tough but sensitive, and with the sense of feminineness, Zaha finds her position in this men dominated world.  You can find deconstruction concept in many of her artworks, which totally jump out of the traditional mindset of the architecture world.

Zaha Hadid is good at drawing, thus her design can always catch client’s eyes and win pitches. Although most of projects were turned down because of budget problem and people start to name her the “Paper Architect”, she never compromise but insists on her own way.

If design can help to enhance our quality of life, there is no reason not to live in a nicely designed building and thanks to Zaha, she has successfully lead the architecture world to a brand new era with expectancy.
