my fav archi - zaha hadid

Below I have attached some images of Zaha Hadid's work.I was first introduced to her last year in the monumentality project .Her monumental deconstructavist work seems to almost defy gravity itself,which is why alot of her work has perhaps never actually left the drawing board.I'm particulary fond of the way she plays with light in her structures using the most random of slits.Her designs never seem to follow the same kind of prototype as you would find with say Mies.I find her work very conceptual as she works with a degree of unpredictability of scale and manipulates geometry.She expresses the true fluid nature of concrete.Moreover Zaha was chosen as the first female pritzker prize winner in 2004,along with a long list other international awards in her design portfolio.I find her particularly inspiring considering that most of the greats in archi seem to belong to an 'exclusive mens club'.Furthermore she is a great all rounder dabbling in visual arts like painting,creating installations,furniture right through to product design.
