Zaha Hadid Interview

By Sebastian J — Filed under: News ,
 

The Guardian just feautured an interiview with Zaha Hadid. She talks about the aquatics centre for the 2012 Olympics, rebuilding Baghdad and the usual controversy she creates.

Your work is quite divisive. Do you set out to cause controversy?

No. But because it’s not familiar at the beginning, people shy away from it.

Read the complete interview, here.

Correction, Zaha Hadid is Iraqi not Iranian!

She was actually born in Baghdad, Iraq.

Yes big mistake. She is definitely Iraqi.

hey everybody is concerned about her place of birth……. but i think that has very little to do with her work, and she is saying just that in her interview too…………..

Look Sadia…. when u find a mistake in the head of an article; u can’t trust the source of it anymore & the issue is not 2 do or not 2 do with her work but because they already mentioned this point(her origin).

What i was trying to point out AB S T is that by just concentrrating on that one wrong figure , we have ignored the fact that what a boring and mediocre interview this one one.. not a single question was worth a penny………… says nothing about her work and no body is commenting on that ………..

I think the main issue of this interview is “the price of concrete and cement”

Calm down, it’s just an interview in the Guardian. The General press is more concerned about public money, glamour, politically correct vision of england’s class and race struggles than design theory and advance construction process.

i’d have asked her why she’s got her face as the first page on her website… i thought my monitor was melting.
