'Zaha Hadid: 30 years of Architecture' has provided an in depth examination of the oeuvre of one of today’s most visionary architects. The first woman to be awarded the distinguished Pritzker Architecture Prize in 2004, Hadid is internationally known for both her theoretical and academic work, as well as a portfolio of built projects that have literally “shifted the geometry of buildings.”
The Iraqi born, London based architect has collaborated with the Guggenheim on several projects, including the design for the museum’s exhibition The Great Utopia in 1992. Each of Hadid’s dynamic and innovative projects builds on over 20 years of revolutionary experimentation and research in the interrelated fields of urbanism, architecture, and design.
Zaha will provide a comprehensive look at her projects worldwide. True to her interdisciplinary approach to architecture, there is a wide range of media on display including painting, drawing, large-scale urban plans, proposals for international design competitions, building designs for contemporary cultural and sports facilities, documentation of current projects under construction, and a site-specific work created especially for the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum rotunda.
Exhibitions
ZHA’s exhibitions engage us in dialogue with curators, audiences, and other creators, enriching our work and how we communicate it to the world.
