Zaha Hadid was an Iraqi-born British architect known for her radical deconstructivist designs. She was born October 31, 1950 in Baghdad, Iraq and died March 31, 2016. In 2004 she became the first woman to be awarded the Pritzker Architecture Prize. Hadid began her studies at the American University in Beirut, Lebanon, receiving a bachelor’s degree in mathematics. In 1972 she traveled to London to study at the Architectural Association, a major centre of progressive architectural thought during the 1970s. There she met the architects Elia Zenghelis and Rem Koolhaas, with whom she would collaborate as a partner at the Office of Metropolitan Architecture. Hadid established her own London-based firm in 1979.
Her numerous awards include the Pritzker Prize, two Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) Stirling Prize, the London Design Museum’s Design of the Year, she wa sthe first woman to win this, and the Japan Art Association’s Praemium Imperiale prize. Bora Residential Tower

Cincinnati, Ohio 1998-2003
The Lois and Richard Rosenthal Center for Contemporary Art was built between 1997 and 2003 in Cincinnati, Ohio and is 8500 square meters. This museum was the first to be designed and built by a woman architect. The predominate idea for the prjoect is one of permeability and integration betwen interior and exterior: the ground floor surfaces cross the glass atrium and , like an “urban carpet”, encourage the flow of visitors towards thois vertically developed museum. The penetration of light into the various parts of the building grabs the attention of passers-by and lets them see what is going on inside. A zigzaging system of ramps connects the different spaces and allows visitors to look at one another as they move about and interact with the art. IN this way, the architecture facilitates rhe viewing of art as a collective experience. The building’s corner location led to the development of two complementary facades: artciculated in horizontal blocks made of glass, metal and cement placed opposite and on top of one another. This reveals the compact and differentiated structure of the interior and vertical development of the exhibition spaces. The building represents Hadid’s refelction on architecture’s mediating role between the contemporary art world and public urban space.
