Zaha Hadid Quote: “The beauty of the landscape – where sand, water, reeds, birds, buildings, and people all somehow flowed together – has never left me.”
Zaha Hadid Quote: “Architecture is how the person places herself in the space. Fashion is about how you place the object on the person.”

Zaha Hadid Quote: “I used to not like being called a ‘woman architect.’ I’m an architect, not just a woman architect.

Zaha Hadid Quote: “Wherever I am in the world, my perfect day begins with waking up and heading to the beach or the pool or somewhere I can be semi-comatose. I just wake up and go to the sun.”

Zaha Hadid Quote: “People don’t talk to you properly. It’s the way they talk to you; they dismiss you. I think it’s a combination of me being a woman and a foreigner.”

Zaha Hadid Quote: “I have been interested in fashion since I was a kid. Then I lived in London, where it was more about costume and a personal statement of who you are than about fashion.”
Zaha Hadid Quote: “When women do succeed, the press, even the industry press, spend far too much time talking about how we dress, what shoes we’re wearing, who we’re meant to be seeing. That’s pretty sad for women, especially when it’s written by women who really should know better.”
Zaha Hadid Quote: “I miss aspects of being in the Arab world – the language – and there is a tranquility in these cities with great rivers. Whether it’s Cairo or Baghdad, you sit there and you think, ‘This river has flown here for thousands of years.’ There are magical moments in these places.”

Zaha Hadid Quote: “I don’t think people should do things because you know, ‘I am turning this age, I must go have a husband.’ If you find somebody and it works out then have kids, it’s very nice. But if you don’t, you don’t.”
