Who is the person on my field that I admire?


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?
