Zaha Hadid is one of the most important architects of the past and present generation. She rose as an architect in a time when men totally dominated the field. She did not emulate others in her field, but blazed a path of her own, and a glorious path it is. The field of Architecture today is significantly less male dominated than before, probably a good part thanks to her and just recently, she was named as TIME magazine's 100 Most Influential People in the world.
My admiration for Zaha Hadid largely comes from the style of her work. To me, the quality of her work symbolizes her as a woman. Her work is sensual, feminine, but never submissive. Her work is proud and her style transcends into many other worlds. Her art, her furniture, and even her silverware, all exude her unique sense of style and thus, Hadid's work is incredibly recognizable. Even she herself, as seen in photographs and interviews, carry that incredible style. She is an amazing architect, but she is above and beyond that. Everything that glows Zaha Hadid and everything that light shines on, makes Zaha Hadid, and her influence, all the more incredible.
