  
The first woman to be awarded the distinguished Pritzker Architecture
Prize, in 2004, Zaha Hadid is internationally known for projects that
have literally "shifted the geometry of buildings." The Iraqi-born,
London-based architect has collaborated with the Guggenheim on several
projects leading up to this comprehensive retrospective, including the
design for the museum's exhibition, The Great Utopia in 1992.
True to Hadid’s interdisciplinary approach to architecture, all media will be covered here.
Having first achieved international recognition through her
striking images and designs, Zaha Hadid is now widely known as an
innovator who consistently tests the boundaries of architecture,
urbanism and design. One of her most important "testing fields" has
been her drawings. Once considered unbuildable, her projects
can now be seen around the world, including major projects in Europe,
North America and Asia. Hadid¹s most recent work incorporates smooth
surfaces where walls seem to melt, floors curving upward, and ceilings
that appear to compress, bend and expand.
The catalogue of the exhibition features color illustrations of designs and models, previously unpublished paintings and photographs of buildings
at all stages of construction, as well as two previously unpublished
interviews with Hadid by Alvin Boyarsky.
