The legacy of Zaha Hadid

A couple of weeks ago the world of architecture, design, urban planning and art came to a standstill: Zaha Hadid had died. At 65, this Baghdad-born architect had become famous around the world for her neo-constructivist drawings, for being the first woman to receive the Pritzker Prize (the Nobel of architecture), and for her Arts Center in Cincinnati, a tower in Moscow, a bridge in Taiwan and the London 2012 Olympic Aquatics Centre, to name just a few of the works of her career.

If there was one thing that defined her, it was her conviction and passion for avant-garde architecture from the very beginning. Her bold forms and powerful plastic expression left their mark not only on architecture but also on industrial design, interior design and fashion. The importance and strength of her work also lay in the fact that, as a woman, she made her name in a field led by men, proving that women could be architects every bit as great as they were.

At Trends Studio, as great admirers of her work and vision, we want to share with you some of the most distinctive and impressive works of Zaha Hadid, RIP.
