(31 October 1950 – 31 March 2016)

Zaha Hadid ‘s fluid designs were expensive to make, hard to sell and memorable, once finished.  Whilst not really our cup of tea, her work – which might have been more extensive but for her refusal to compromise – constitutes an important and largely successful feature of modern architecture, particularly in her public buildings, which vindicate her 30 year struggle against ‘nice’, neat, square construction.
