As the first woman to have won the Pritzker Architecture Prize and the RIBA Gold Medal, Dame Zaha Hadid is praised for the powerful nature of her architecture. She has also done high profile interior work including inside the Millennium Dome and has worked on fashion design with Lacoste. Her work has been displayed in several museums across the world and led to her being described as "a formidable and globally-influential force in architecture". She designed the £11m Investcorp building at St Antony's College, Oxford.

Our family knows her family.... Her father was a minister in iraqi government and her grandfather owned alot of money due to his companies... She did not had to struggle for money or freedom or anything else they left iraq since she was a kid i think in late 70s... Her only struggle was to be successful woman and she became very very successful....... But most of iraqis women they currently can not only focus on being successful they focus on how to survive how to gain money and freedom and alot of things its not easy Also i'm not underestimated her at all or i'm saying because of her wealth family.. All i'm saying she dedicate her mind to focus on only one thing which is success

If someone creative and good architect have free money can to invest in company (with people drawing yours ideas and change when you want is not problem because have employees for make millons changes and your goal is not make money for live, is create magnificent, sophisticated, extraordinary ideas and make the dreams real.

Zaha Hadid is a legend in the field of architecture and her designs will continue to inspire the students of architecture for ages.
Watching this make me cry....back then I was just a little girl not even know english but knew her from her GZ Opera house in my home town! I would never discover the charm of Architecture without her. 2016 I cried that months knowing her pass. Years after I studied architecture in the AA and I still persuing this career, looking back at this video .. Zaha has always been so inspiring and she is always the star in my heart. RIP

A truly inspiring woman , proud to work for ZHA and truly motivated and inspired . RIP Dame Zaha . All the respect and admiration to your legacy .
This interview was conducted 2 weeks before her death , she was admitted for bronchitis where her it shows she was having a bit of flu ,, may god rest her soul
My lecturers in the architecture school used to say how unnecessary her architecture was. I came to realization over the years that 1- she is a true artist 2 - she was good at marketing - simple. I think if we have strong convictions (how we think the world should be) + the willpower to persist in face of difficulties we all probably can be some type of Zaha manifestation, not like her but unique in our own ways. I think Zaha is great inspiration not because of her architecture but because of the way she went about pursuing what she loved.

More humble than I thought she was. An amazing artist and architect, even more inspiring after I saw this.
Amazing that she passed away two weeks after this interview. So many of our great artists and designers leave us too soon where we are always left to wonder about what else might they have done. However, in comparison it’s as though Frank Lloyd Wright had 3 periods of greatness in his life where a couple of his best designs came to reality after his passing. Or in the last 15-20 years of his life. He was starting his design school in the desert after the age that most retire. Surrounded himself with young enthusiastic students and volunteers to accomplish it.
you inspire me ma'am! I admire your tenacity of will!
Extraordinary lady and great architect
Constantly in awe of her ideologies in design and architecture
Zaha Hadid and Prince Be, two of my heroes passed away this year. We were very fortunate to have been able to witness their works.
The great and unique architect of our time,. I love your architecture and admire the movement, expression, and energy of the total buildings that you did. You are my greatest inspiration. We need you!
It took quite a while to comprehend what had occurred this morning...I am very grateful that this discussion had taken place, only weeks before today - the day when we all suffer a great loss in terms of witnessing and learning from more possibilities that she constantly inspires the world with. Countless potential innovations cut short to the world's grief, very sudden and shocking indeed. Despite all the great controversies her works stir, we can't deny that she is and will be remembered as an icon of our time, and nevertheless a role model of women in architecture - one which doesn't compromise but only improves when posed with challenges and inequality. That third last question stroke home to be heard today. Zaha Hadid will be missed, and be long remembered for her legacy within and beyond the realm of architectural design.
Watching this now. Dear Zaha - I miss your beautiful energy, passion, new interviews and your impact on architecture 😢 RIP and you won’t ever be forget by me
a true master , may her soul rest in peace .Her legacy will live for ever .ALLAH YARHAMHA

And yet oxford doesn’t do an architecture course!
A brilliant light is no longer..such a pleasure to see this interview..
She looked so well and healthy. I dont think we have fully understood what we have lost yet. Greats die young, and she epitomised that quality. RIP.
I have learned lots of things in this video! I appreciated that!✌❤
In fact, his design style embodies a creativity that many architects can achieve. But this kind of design excessively expensive from A to Z (from the sketch to the execution of the work), they are particularly aimed at people of obscene wealth and extravagance. She was very lucky to introduce this kind of segment.Of course, with really hard effort
the word Genius totally sums up Zaha she was way ahead of her time a global legend and icon remarkable interesting woman who will be greatly missed RIP

She was very lucky to introduce this kind of particularly very demanding and enormously small segment to the world.
All Zaha Hadid buildings are breathtaking! You should feature more of them! Everywhere where they are , they are the gem! I know that many mediocre architects envy her fantasy and creativity.

Such an amazingly talented woman with a vision. R.I.P. queen.
Brilliant mind, great woman
She was the greatest architect in the world. Her work is mesmerizing, fantastically gorgeous. She is ahead of her time. All of you out there who love Frank Loyd Wright and Meis Van der Rohe - don’t even think of looking at her creations, you won’t understand them. Wright’s work is a long line of one monstrosity after another. The ugliness is depressing. As for Meis, all of his creations just look like boxes. Boxes, people!!! So sit down, get to know Zaha and she what she has to offer. I’ve changed my mind about you not even trying. When you are through and you’d still rather stare at the boxes and also realize that many of Wright’s buildings leak (The Johnson Wax building, right here I’m Racine where I live.). So sad-ugly AND leaking. BUT TO EACH HIS OWN

+Şebenem's I had exactly the same thought that she might have been murdered. She had lots of haters. I know from personal conversations that people, men, see her as a threat to their Egos and their whole view of life. Her work is highly inspirational and makes the viewers unfold their own inner potentials. This is not received well by the corporate agenda which wants people to be dependent and uncreative.

Şebenem's It is very true. Most humans are brutal and barbaric. Only a small percentage is kind and giving. I am watching a documentary film right now called Future Earth done in 2015. It is a hopeful film. There are some amazing humans who offer something great. Zaha Hadid is greatest of all and she also worked with sustainable materials. Peter Rose and Peter Zumthor are great as well.

Came to her through Malevich. I will miss her.
If she teaches me how to build, guess I would have full attendance, in my opinion the industry of architecture nowadays is not very willing to provide opportunities to others, they are like creating a zero-sum industry when they can have a positive-sum industry. I hope there will be more people like Zaha and there would be more interesting buildings with new trying and spirit.
Great Architect ! Noble and brilliant ! Rest In Peace Dear Zaha !
