She was the epitome of international architects-jet set, everywhere present and in demand worldwide. Especially when cities, museums or institutions would emerge with symbolic structures. As Daniel Libeskind and Frank Gehry she delivered reliably this signature buildings with which the builders a Bilbao effect, ie promise international publicity.
First made Zaha Hadid which came in Baghdad in 1950 to the world and Iraq have left as a teenager, in London talked about where she studied at the avant-garde talent factory Architectural Association School AA. A study of mathematics in Beirut she had previously canceled. She quickly grew into the circle of influence of Rem Koolhaas and Bernard Tschumi. There they understood their eccentric architecture considers its “Mikado architecture” of dancing walls and flying bar modeled after the Russian constructivists to Kazimir Malevich. She was recognized for her hauntingly beautiful panel paintings, where she represented the flying and burst structures.
Construction and functional utility that time were not the focus of their interest. They charged exhibitions and presented extensively in all architecture gazettes. The collector tore her music almost out of his hands.
Hadid has long sought builders for their avant-garde designs
International she was knighted by Philip Johnson, with an exhibition at the New York Museum of Modern Arts of the concept of “deconstructivist architecture” was coined. Zaha Hadid was there, next to Frank Gehry, Daniel Libeskind, Rem Koolhaas, Coop Himmelb (l) au and Peter Eisenman. This was followed by teaching at various universities and lectures around the world together. It became the most colorful figure in the international architectural scene.
For many years she was not able to win a builders for their avant-garde designs. Not with her famous 1983 Hotel Project The Peak of Hong Kong, and even with the Berlin project at Kurfürstendamm corner Lewishamstraße for which she won the 1986 architectural competition. The works contract then went to Helmut Jahn.
In 1991, she finally came together with Vitra boss Rolf Fehlbaum, who am Rhein planning a corporate campus in Weil. Hadid was commissioned to design the building for the plant fire brigade. And she found a sentient contact architect who looked able to work with it. In 1993, the firehouse was finished, an ultimately unfit, but wonderful building, composed of inclined planes, dynamic emerging roof surfaces, obliquely balancing columns and sharp edges.
gradually they recorded international competition successes, some of which were in the implementation phase. In 1987 she won the competition of the IBA for housing in the Berlin Stresemannstraße. The construction, however, was trimmed in the implementation phase so and changed that she distanced herself of it, and finally painted it from their works.
Later succeeded Zaha Hadid, not least through its German employees and later office partner Patrik Schumacher, plan buildable structures. Always, however, it took the most structural engineers to implement their designs in concrete and steel. Most recently, she worked mostly with the Frankfurter engineers Bollinger + Grohmann.
As of 1999, the Landesgartenschau pavilion in Weil am Rhein, a car park in Strasbourg and the ski jump and the stations of the Hungerburgbahn in Innsbruck emerged. Hadid was particularly interested in the museum, some of which could be realized in Cincinnati, Rome, Copenhagen, and Taichung (Taiwan). In China an opera went to Guangzhou and other projects in the realization. also the water sports center of the Olympic Games in London became famous 2012 Design.
In recent years, its architecture was dynamic
Germany was for them a successful business. Except in Berlin and Weil am Rhein it built in Leipzig for BMW a very interesting production building and in the Wolfsburg Phaeno Science Center.
In recent years, its architecture was pleasing, dynamic. Bursting and splintering was not announced, but rounded forms – so feminine, that compared a stadium design for Qatar with a huge vulva, which lowered their chances of success in the Arab Scheichtum zero. Also another prestigious building stuck in the plan stage. In Tokyo, their project for the stadium of the 2020 Olympic Games has been tipped. The projected cost of 1.7 billion euros were simply too high.
all-time dressed extravagantly, she used her-present, diva-like appearance a star cult. Zaha Hadid gave himself aloof and demanding with her also helped ensure enforce its unusual architecture. A great triumph in 2004 was awarded the Pritzker Prize, considered the Nobel Prize of architecture. It has been the honor as the first woman and youngest winner received.
Zaha Hadid’s architecture was unique and unmistakable. She has hardly found followers and the architectural development can hardly influence, especially their formal language always conflicted with baukonstruktiven and functional requirements. With their understanding of architecture as a creative arts, as a counterpart and partner of the visual arts, in particular for the design of emblematic cultural structures, however, it has awarded the construction enormous impetus.
On Wednesday Zaha Hadid died in Miami aged 65 years of a heart attack.
