| 1950 - 2016 Very recently the visionary architect Zaha Hadid passed into eternity. Her works have already resided in hearts, minds and physically in an earthly space of an eternal admiration. Her buildings bend, twist and elegantly flow like no others. These compelling, masterful achievements attest to her strength, purpose and love of process and humanity. She will be missed as her works stand; surely, the test of time. |
“I find
industrial cities exciting. I like their toughness.”
Zaha Hadid
Yes; MS Hadid was an architect carrying the respect and
acknowledgement of her peers. The honor of being the first woman to win the
Pritzker Prize was hers; the pinnacle of success in her field. She was also awarded the Stirling Prize and
the RIBA Gold Medal. She remains much admired and loved by all who experience
and enjoy her buildings.
Hadid was equally a fabulous designer of furniture, shoes
and cars. Her flair for style was great and original. Her drawings and
paintings were works of beauty, intrigue and High Art. I was able to see
several of her pieces at Design Miami as part of Art Basel Miami. This was a
personal high-light.
“I'm into fashion because it contains the mood of the day,
of the moment - like music, literature, and art.”
There was greatness in Zaha Hadid; we saw it in her life and
works. Everything she touched became a treasure. She will be missed. In times
future those who speak of Eiffel, Wright, Koolhaas and Gehry will speak too of
Hadid.
