How strange for an artist that there is nothing about her artistic proclivities or views that she might bring to bear with her architecture. Is she modernist? traditionalist WHAT?? A list of projects does not give that. |

Untitled
Zaha is currently building most of her latest work, which includes a gallery extension in Denmark, contemporary art center in rome, a factory for BMW in germany, an opera in china, along many other buildings, since her work has been underrepresentend in the brick and mortar world she´s taking her revenge lately.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.58.39.170 (talk • contribs) 25 October 2004 (UTC)
Fellow in American Institute of Architects?
Zaha Hadid is not listed as a Fellow in the AIA directory of Fellows. Perhaps she received some AIA Award, but she does not appear to be an AIA Fellow.Sullivanesque (talk) 03:38, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
- Happily I found a cite so could reverted your change :-) -Bigger digger (talk) 01:08, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
Architect?
The title conceptual artist would be more appropriate for this lady, placing her amongst other minimally- or questionably-talented artists (sic) such as Mrs John Lennon.
Appallingly bad work: for example, the people who once worked in Vitra Fire Station - before its use changed to that of a museum showcasing part of the local collection of chairs..... - said that it was the most inappropriately designed and woefully inadequate building they could possibly imagine for the purpose. The locals liken it to a municipal toilet; one cannot help but sympathise with that critique.
There is a good reason why she is "...underrepresented in the brick and mortar world...", particularly in her adopted home, the UK, where in a quarter of a century no clients have agreed to convert her proposals into real structures. The UK has enough disfunctional, incoherent, cold and windswept monolithic concrete carbuncles awaiting demolition to be replaced by a building designed by a proper architect. 81.105.27.137 15:16, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
Just a quick hint: few weeks ago, Hadid's latest building was opened: "Phaeno" at Wolfsburg, Germany. (a science centre). quite celebrated, it shows her "style" developping - from "fragmentation" towards a new kind of "entity". the building was constructed of a specific and new-created kind of concrete - could be moulded in one pour (!) besides, Hadid participates at the (re?)construction of "fiera di Milano" (Milan fair) - masterplan by Daniel Libeskind. though I'm not sure if they already started with it (competition 2004, completion - planned - 2014)
This should be about facts, not opinion. For that matter this discussion is, quite rightly, irrelevant to the actual article. Sep 2011
Muslim?
Is she muslim? if so I think it should be mentioned. 87.101.224.234 (talk) 04:15, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
I think she is. Take a look at this article by The Guardian --Ajmalahmedkhan (talk) 19:13, 15 January 2010 (UTC)http://www.guardian.co.uk/artanddesign/2006/oct/09/architecture.communities
^^^Irrelevant. Has anyone considered mentioning whether Frank Lloyd Wright was a Christian? Hadid's religion would play no part in her design work. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sbattles (talk • contribs) 09:08, 26 February 2011 (UTC)
Eli and Edythe Broad Museum
The article lists the Eli and Edythe Broad Museum at Michigan State University as a "completed project". Groundbreaking ceremonies were held in March 2010 and the project is expected to be completed sometime in 2012.24.11.148.36 (talk) 05:00, 3 April 2010 (UTC)
- Thanks for the hint. Fixed. --Elekhh (talk) 06:28, 3 April 2010 (UTC)
Works of Zaha Hadid
I found this orphan page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Works_of_Zaha_Hadid Maybe someone can incorporate it in the article? --Dia^ (talk) 21:30, 30 April 2010 (UTC)
Deconstructivist
This article begins: Zaha Hadid ... is an British Iraqi deconstructivist architect. I'm removing "deconstructivist". If anyone wants to discuss deconstructivism, they should do so further down. JO 24 (talk) 07:51, 16 September 2010 (UTC)
Glass
"In June 2011, had her own unexpected bungle at "Glasstress," one of the Biennale's most highly anticipated collateral events. "Glasstress," now in its second iteration, invites artists who may not traditionally work in glass to create original glass designs. This year's participants included Kiki Smith, Vik Muniz, Tony Oursler, and Hadid. However, Hadid couldn't fully execute her large-scale glass construction in time for the show. The curators were forced to display a few-year-old Hadid fiberglass sculpture instead. (Whether or not fiberglass actually counts as glass is up for debate.) The wall text tried to redeem Hadid's failure by spinning it as an important reminder of the laborious and unpredictable nature of glass. [6]"
I've removed this passage because of wp:tone, wp:npov and possible wp:blp concerns. It's certainly relevant, but needs to be rewritten before it can go back in.FrFintonStack (talk) 02:59, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
Non architectural work
Non architectural work section read like a summary from a manufacturers website. Removed 'pushed the boundaries of innovation' - what ever that means. - 15:01, 31 January 2012 (UTC)
Abu Dhabi bridge
She designed the Sheikh Zayed Bridge in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. I drive over it every day to work.... 92.99.14.214 (talk) 14:16, 3 August 2012 (UTC) Geoff http://www.zaha-hadid.com/architecture/sheikh-zayed-bridge/
- Thanks for pointing that out. I added now Sheikh Zayed Bridge to List of works by Zaha Hadid. --ELEKHHT 01:53, 4 August 2012 (UTC)
And philosophy
How strange for an artist that there is nothing about her artistic proclivities or views that she might bring to bear with her architecture. Is she modernist? traditionalist WHAT?? A list of projects does not give that.
