Zaha Hadid offers an insightful overview of the groundbreaking work of the Iraqi-British architect who redefined contemporary architecture with her futuristic and fluid designs.Despite early skepticism about the feasibility of her bold visions, Hadid's innovative structures—such as the Rosenthal Center for Contemporary Art in Cincinnati, the MAXXI Museum in Rome, and the London 2012 Olympics Aquatics Centre—stand as testaments to her genius.This volume, part of TASCHEN's Basic Architecture series, features approximately 120 illustrations, including photographs, sketches, and plans, providing a comprehensive look at Hadid's evolution from her early sharply angled buildings to her later, more organic forms.Authored by Philip Jodidio, the book delves into Hadid's journey as the first woman to receive both the Pritzker Prize and the RIBA Royal Gold Medal, highlighting her role in shaping 21st-century architecture
