Zaha Hadid, a revolutionary architect, defied conventional norms and achieved groundbreaking success despite building relatively little. Her work, deemed impossible to construct by some, transformed into reality during her later years. Her visionary designs brought a fresh and distinctive architectural language to cities and structures like the Port House in Antwerp, the Al Janoub Stadium in Doha, Qatar, and the breathtaking new airport terminal in Beijing.

By the time of her untimely passing in 2016, Hadid had firmly established herself among the foremost architects of her time, collaborating on projects across Europe, China, the Middle East, and the United States. She made history as the first female architect to receive both the Pritzker Prize for architecture and the prestigious RIBA Royal Gold Medal, with her longtime partner Patrik Schumacher now leading Zaha Hadid Architects and overseeing numerous new ventures.

This extensively updated and accessible edition of the book, based on the comprehensive TASCHEN monograph, presents Hadid's complete works, including ongoing projects. It features abundant photographs, detailed sketches, and Hadid's own drawings, tracing the evolution of her career, encompassing not only her most pioneering buildings but also the furniture and interior designs that seamlessly integrated into her unique and distinctly 21st-century universe.
