Radical Space. How Zaha Hadid created 21st-century architecture

Discover the audacious futurism of Zaha Hadid. As the first woman to win both the Pritzker Prize for architecture and the RIBA Royal Gold Medal, Hadid broke the rules and re-defined the game, despite some saying her designs were unbuildable. At the time of her unexpected death in 2016, she was firmly established as the first great architect of the noughties.

Zaha Hadid was a revolutionary architect, who for many years built almost nothing, despite winning critical acclaim. Some even said her audacious, futuristic designs were unbuildable.

During the latter years of her life, Hadid’s daring visions became a reality, bringing a unique new architectural language to cities and structures as varied as the Rosenthal Center for Contemporary Art in Cincinnati, hailed by The New York Times as “the most important new building in America since the Cold War”; the MAXXI Museum in Rome; the Guangzhou Opera House in China; and the London 2012 Olympics Aquatics Centre.

At the time of her unexpected death in 2016, Hadid was firmly established among the elite of world architecture, recognized as the first woman to win both the Pritzker Prize for architecture and the RIBA Royal Gold Medal, but above all as a giver of new forms, the first great architect of the noughties.

From her early sharply angled buildings to later more fluid architecture that made floors, ceilings, walls, and furniture part of an overall design, this essential introduction presents key examples of Hadid’s pioneering practice. She was an artist, as much as an architect, who fought to break the old rules and crafted her own 21st-century universe.

A substantially updated edition of this affordably priced, complete retrospective of the late Zaha Hadid, from the earliest experimentations to her final projects

Zaha Hadid was one of the most innovative and celebrated architects of our time. Born in Iraq, raised in London and recipient of the coveted Pritzker Architecture Prize (and twice winner of the UK’s Stirling Prize), Hadid transformed our experience of space and architecture in a career that spanned forty years. This comprehensive volume of over two hundred projects – from the earliest experimentations to product design, from speculative follies to large-scale built works, including the London Aquatics Centre, the Dongdaemun Design Plaza in Seoul and the Dominion Office Building in Moscow – is a testament to the depth, range and excitement of her vision.

The Complete Zaha Hadid. The revolutionary architect’s life and work in an updated monograph

From Olympic venues to a world-class airport, this monograph gathers the complete works of the first female architect ever to win the Pritzker prize and one of the greatest architects of the 21st century: Zaha Hadid. Photographs, in-depth texts, and Hadid’s own drawings trace her integrated universe of building, furniture, and interior design, including the astonishing Port House in Antwerp.

Zaha Hadid was a revolutionary architect. For years, she was widely acclaimed and won numerous prizes despite building practically nothing. Some even said her work was simply impossible to build. Yet, during the latter years of her life, Hadid’s daring visions became a reality, bringing a new and unique architectural language to cities and structures such as the Port House in Antwerp, the Al Janoub Stadium near Doha, Qatar, and the spectacular new airport terminal in Beijing.

By her untimely death in 2016, Hadid was firmly established among architecture’s finest elite, working on projects in Europe, China, the Middle East, and the United States. She was the first female architect to win both the Pritzker Prize for architecture and the prestigious RIBA Royal Gold Medal, with her long-time Partner Patrik Schumacher now the leader of Zaha Hadid Architects and in charge of many new projects.

Based on the massive TASCHEN monograph, this book is now available in an extensively updated and accessible edition covering Hadid’s complete works, including ongoing projects. With abundant photographs, in-depth sketches, and Hadid’s own drawings, the volume traces the evolution of her career, spanning not only her most pioneering buildings but also the furniture and interior designs that were integrated into her unique, and distinctly 21st-century, universe.

Building the future now. The iconic work of a singular architect

Zaha Hadid is a wildly controversial architect whose work remained largely unbuilt for years, despite awards and critical acclaim. Yet in the past decade, Hadid has risen to fame and completed numerous structures like the Rosenthal Center for Contemporary Art in Cincinnati, the Glasgow Riverside Museum, and the Eli & Edythe Broad Art Museum in Michigan

With her audacious, futuristic designs, Zaha Hadid now ranks among the global elite in a notoriously male-dominated industry. In the past decade, Hadid has transformed skylines and captured imaginations with such prestigious projects as the MAXXI in Rome, the Guangzhou Opera House in China, and the London Aquatics Centre, designed for the 2012 Olympic Games... With her audacious, futuristic designs, Hadid now ranks among the elite of world architecture.

Born in Baghdad and educated in London, where her practice is based, Hadid has designed radical architecture for over 30 years. This massive TASCHEN monograph, now available in a specially updated and more accessible edition, covers her complete works to date. The New National Stadium of Japan — venue of the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games, and the Serpentine Sackler Gallery in London are both published for the first time. This volume shows the evolution of Hadid’s career — comprising buildings and furniture and interior designs — with in-depth texts, spectacular photos, and her own drawings.

A monographic look at Pierres Vives, Zaha Hadid’s latest major work, and its innovative approach to spatial design and urban planning.

This book documents the ten-year creation of Pierres Vives, an imposing new public building by world-renowned architect Zaha Hadid. The 28,500-square-meter stone and concrete sculptural structure brings Hadid’s signature boundary-pushing spatial concepts to urban planning on a grand scale. Conceptualized as a "tree of knowledge" by Zaha Hadid as early as 2002, the structure combines three government functions — archives, a library, and a sports center — into one building to fill the needs of a growing population in Montpellier, France.

This book is the definitive source of images for the built structure and the construction process, and explores the architect’s design choices, allowing a deep understanding of the work and thought behind the structure.

Audacious futurism. The forward-thinking work of a singular architect

Zaha Hadid (*1950 in Baghdad), recipient of the Pritzker Architecture Prize, designed and curated a groundbreaking exhibition at Zurich’s Galerie Gmurzynska, comparing works of the Russian avant-garde with those of Zaha Hadid Architects. A fierce explosion of Russian works tore through the contemporary works by the architect in a dynamic black and white design. Created specifically for the venue, the projection of a two-dimensional drawing onto a three-dimensional space transformed the gallery into a spatial painting in which the threshold of the picture plane expanded and could be entered. Zaha Hadid translated the warped and weightless space of Russian avant-garde painting and sculpture by Kazimir Malevich, El Lissitzky, and Alexander Rodchenko into her very own architectural language.

Zaha Hadid is one of the most important and influential architects in the world. Educated in mathematics in Baghdad and architecture at London’s Architectural Association, Hadid is the first female recipient of the prestigious Pritzker Prize.

This is a complete monograph of Zaha Hadid’s early, unbuilt and built works, from her student years to the latest projects under development, and includes her furniture, stage and exhibition designs. The projects – constructed, in planning or under construction – are located around the globe.

An introduction by Aaron Betsky, 2008 Director of the Venice Architecture Biennale, examines the architect’s career, both in the context of architectural history and as a manifestation of the current and future state of architecture.

• The works are organized in chronological order over Hadid’s 30-year career, revealing her earliest inspirations and powerful resonances between projects.
• Prepared in collaboration with Hadid’s office
• A dazzling array of imagery, from large-scale paintings to sculpture-like models, from multi-perspective drawings to dynamic computer renderings, together with more conventional forms of architectural documentation, such as photographs, plans and drawings.

Zaha Hadid. Complete Works 1979–Today, 2020 Edition

4 volumes presented in a 3-D Red Lucite slipcase: Major and Recent Works, Projects Documentation, Texts and References, Process: Sketches & Drawings

Zaha Hadid is the most famous woman architect in the world and the first to win the Pritzker Prize. She has achieved international recognition for her visionary images and design, and is now one of the profession’s most sought-after figures. Zaha Hadid’s moment has arrived.

A true landmark in architecture and design book publishing, this sensationally packaged work offers the definitive overview of the creative trajectory of architecture’s most formidable talent.

Zaha Hadid: The Complete Works is one of the most exciting and complex architectural monographs ever produced. This brilliantly conceived and designed publication comprises four volumes of differing sizes that offer multiple perspectives on more than a hundred projects and over twenty years at the vanguard of architecture.

• Major and Recent Projects is a large-scale presentation of Hadid’s recently built work and famed paintings
• Projects Documentation is the only book to offer detailed descriptions and illustrations of Hadid's complete buildings and projects.
• Models and Sketches is a selection of the architect’s groundbreaking exploration in perspective
• Essays and References features essays by international critics, an appreciation by maverick Peter Cook and an exhaustive reference section, which includes a bibliography and project data.

The first woman to be awarded the distinguished Pritzker Architecture Prize, in 2004, Zaha Hadid is internationally known for projects that have literally "shifted the geometry of buildings." The Iraqi-born, London-based architect has collaborated with the Guggenheim on several projects leading up to this comprehensive retrospective, including the design for the museum's exhibition The Great Utopia in 1992. Each of Hadid's dynamic and innovative works builds on over 30 years of experimentation and research in the interrelated fields of urbanism, architecture and design. True to Hadid's interdisciplinary approach to architecture, all mediums will be covered here.

This richly illustrated volume offers a comprehensive overview of the work of the renowned Iraqi architect-from her earliest works realized in 1979 to her most recent projects. An impressive look at the possibilities of architecture on the borderline between the possible and the impossible.

Zaha Hadid: Architecture is published in conjunction with the exhibition of the same name at the MAK in Vienna. This is the first book to document the artist´s newest projects and also presents an extensive overview of her oeuvre. One of the most renowned exponents of contemporary architecture, Zaha Hadid has always been in search of a visionary aesthetics covering all areas from urban planning to interior and furniture design.

This publication contains numerous colour illustrations of designs, models, and-as yet mostly unpublished-Major Paintings by Hadid, as well as photographs of buildings already built and still under construction, granting insights into all stages of project development from the abstract concept to its technical implementation. The texts by architecture critic Andreas Ruby and Patrik Schuhmacher, project partner at Zaha Hadid Architects, London, are integral parts of the book and shed profound light onto the architect´s oeuvre.

Another special feature is the documentation of the installation Ice-Storm especially developed for the MAK exhibition, a "space experiment" with a surface area of three hundred square meters, providing the audience with a possibility for an active approach to Hadid´s radically new language of form and space.

The architect:

Zaha Hadid, born 1950 in Bagdad. 1972-1977 studied at the renowned Architectural Association (AA) in London. Soon after, she became a partner at the Office for Metropolitan Architecture (OMA) and taught at the AA with her OMA colleagues Rem Koolhaas and Elia Zenghelis. Since 1979, she has also headed her own architectural firm, and until 1987 she had her own studio at the AA. From then on, she has held the Kenzo Tange Chair at the Graduate School of Design at Harvard University and the Sullivan Chair at the Chicago School of Architecture. Since the fall semester 2000/01, she has also taught architectural design at the Universität für angewandte Kunst in Vienna. Her first large-scale international success was in 1983 when she won first prize in the competition for the project The Peak in Hong Kong. Her first large-scale realized project, which also gained her international fame, was the Vitra fire engine house at Weil am Rhein, finished in 1993.
