Zaha Hadid (1950–2016) was an Iraqi-British architect and one of the most influential figures in contemporary architecture. Born in Baghdad and educated at the Architectural Association in London, she founded Zaha Hadid Architects in 1980 and went on to redefine architectural form through a body of work characterized by fluid geometries, dynamic spatial compositions, and bold technological experimentation. Her architecture consistently challenged conventional notions of structure and gravity, embracing movement, complexity, and continuity as core design principles. Winner of the Pritzker Architecture Prize in 2004, Hadid left behind a transformative legacy that continues to shape architectural thinking and practice worldwide.
