AWARDS AND RECOGNITIONS
• In 2010 Hadid’s boldly imaginative design for the MAXXI museum of
contemporary art and architecture in Rome earned her the Royal Institute of
British Architects (RIBA) Stirling Prize for the best building by a British
architect completed in the past year.
• She won a second Stirling Prize the following year for a sleek structure she
conceived for Evelyn Grace Academy, a secondary school in London.
• Hadid’s fluid undulating design for the Heydar Aliyev Center, a cultural centre
that opened in 2012 in Baku, Azerbaijan, won the London Design Museum’s
Design of the Year in 2014.
DESIGN PHILOSOPHY
• Hadid’s radical designs in the 1980s and early ’90s, including the
Kurfürstendamm (1986) in Berlin, the Düsseldorf Art and Media
Centre (1992–93), and the Cardiff Bay Opera House (1994) in Wales
were never realized.
• Hadid began to be known as a “paper architect,” meaning her designs
were too avant-garde to move beyond the sketch phase and actually
be built. This impression of her was heightened when her beautifully
rendered designs— often in the form of exquisitely detailed coloured
paintings—were exhibited as works of art in major museums.

3D-PRINTED UNITED
NUDE SHOES
“Zaha consistently reinvents the
program with her own ideas and
interpretations,” says United Nude
founder Rem D Koolhaas. "Her
visionary creations are often
unexpected, yet reinforce their
origins.
He adds: "I could not resist the
challenge to work with Zaha. We
gave ourselves the greatest degree
of experimentation and used the
latest digital design and
manufacturing technologies to
create one of the most innovative
shoes ever produced.”
ZAHA HADID AND GEORG JENSON:
LAMELLA
"Our challenge was to translate that into
something that can be worn; to reinterpret the
rich history and tradition of Georg Jensen’s
design approach into something new."
A double-finger ring bears
a resemblance to
Hadid's pebble-shaped
Wangjing Soho towers in
Beijing, which was
completed in 2015.
