Zaha Hadid, founder of Zaha Hadid Architects, was awarded the Pritzker Architecture Prize in 2004 and is internationally known for her built, theoretical and academic work. Each of her projects builds on over thirty years of exploration and research in the interrelated fields of urbanism, architecture and design.
Hadid’s interest lies in the rigorous interface between architecture, urbanism, landscape and geology as her practice integrates natural topography and human-made systems, leading to innovation with new technologies.
In both 2010 and 2011, Hadid’s designs were awarded the Stirling Prize by the RIBA. UNESCO has named Hadid an ‘Artist for Peace’, the Republic of France honored her with the ‘Commandeur de l’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres’ and TIME magazine included her in their list of the ‘100 Most Influential People in the World’. In 2012, Zaha Hadid was made a Dame Commander of the British Empire by Queen Elizabeth II, and the RIBA recently announced Zaha Hadid will be the recipient of the 2016 Royal Gold Medal.
This program is made possible through the generous support of the Pritzker Foundation. It is presented in partnership with the Chicago Architecture Biennial.
