Hadid founded Zaha Hadid Architects in 1979 and completed her first building, the Vitra Fire Station in Germany in 1993. Each of her projects builds on over thirty years of exploration and research in the interrelated fields of urbanism, architecture and design.īorn in Baghdad, Iraq in 1950, Hadid studied mathematics at the American University of Beirut before moving to London in 1972 to attend the Architectural Association (AA) School where she was awarded the Diploma Prize in 1977.
Zaha Hadid is internationally known for her built, theoretical and academic work. The exhibition, organised by the State Hermitage Museum and Zaha Hadid architects, includes 300 models, drawings, photographs, sculptures and design objects: experimental designs of the 1980s, first projects and, of course, works of recent years, among them the Guangzhou Opera House in China the Heydar Aliyev Center in Baku the MAXXI: Italian National Museum of 21st Century Arts in Rome the London Aquatics Center Signature Tower and many others. The project was prepared specifically for the Nicholas Hall of the Winter Palace – the main ceremonial historical interiors of the museum.
