I had a chance to see the exhibition Zaha Hadid - World Architecture at Dansk Arkitektur Center in Copenhagen this August.
It is amazing what she and her Group has designed all over the world, incredible experiments with spatial forms, combining a mathematical approach with new digital tools. They talk about a parametric design, a new style after modernism. Zaha Hadid grew up in Bagdad, went to school in England as a child and studied mathematics at the American University of Beirut. 1972 she returned to England to study at Architectural Association School of Architecture in London.
In 2004, she became the first woman to win the Pritzker Prize. Considered to be the architectural world's Nobel Prize! And she has designed speedboats, jewelry, furniture and lamps as well! What a woman to admire!
And here in Miami Downtown we are looking forward to her creation One Thousand Museum Condo, 706 feet tall at 1000 Biscayne Boulevard. And this building will be tied into the cultural area in Downtown with the Jorge Perez Art Museum Miami and Frost Museum of Science. And with the Adrienne Arsht Center for Performing Arts close by. And the AAA sports and events arena (American Airlines Arena) not to forget.
