BOOK:Hadid Complete Works, Taschen Publications

At the time of her death in 31/3/16, Zaha Hadid was firmly established among the élite of world architecture, working on projects in various places of the world. She was the first female architect to win both the Pritzker Prize for Architecture and the Royal Institute of British Architects Gold Medal. Zaha Hadid was a revolutionary architect, who for many years achieved critical acclaim and won numerous prizes, while building almost nothing. Some even said her work was unbuildable. During the latter years of her life, Hadid’s daring visions became a reality, bringing a unique new architectural language. This massive monograph from Taschen Publications is available in an updated edition, that covers Zaha’s Hadid complete works, right through to the new Serpentine Sackler Gallery in London. With abundant photographs, in-depth sketches, and Hadid’s own drawings, the volume traces the detailed evolution of Hadid’s career, comprising not only pioneering buildings but also the furniture and interior designs that were integrated into her unique, and distinctly 21^st Century, universe.-Efi Michalarou
