How do you do!
Today, I would like to talk about a person I
admire. The truth is that I admire many people, but today I chose Zaha Hadid.
زها محمد حديد, commonly called Zaha Hadid. She
was born on October 31, 1950 in Baghdad, Iraq. Her family belonged a high-class
Arab Sunni.
She studied at a Catholic French School, in
Baghdad. Then, in Switzerland and Great Britain.
In 1868, Hadid studied Mathematics at the
American University of Beirut (Middle East) and then, in London, studied
architecture at the Architectural Association of London. In 1979 she created an
architecture studio in London and was a professor at the Architectural
Association.
She died in March 2016 in Miami of a heart
attack.
She was the first woman to receive the Pritzker
Prize for Architecture in 2004, she also received other awards such as the Mies
van der Rohe (2003) and the Praemium Imperiale (2009).
I like she because I feel that she shows a
different way of doing architecture, in this case, with curves.
I like the
fluency of her works, the delicacy and naturality of the forms, as if she
dropped a handkerchief and described each of the curves done by the wind. This
architecture I like it, when it is escapes from the straight lines and plays
with the movements. And, it's important to note, that this is not coincidence,
because, she dominated the math’s, that means that the logic and the
calculations these must have been very present throughout her life.
Well, here ends today's blog, and you, who do
you admire?
I admire very much her, she brings forward feminine power in architecture.
