ZAHA HADID

Description

Published on the occasion of the exhibition at Tokyo Opera City Art Gallery, this catalogue chronologically overviews more than 20 notable works by the Iraqi-British architect, spanning the 1980s to the present, and from small-scale to the MAXXI. The fragmented geometry of her neofuturistic buildings carries into other aspects of her work, and a range of exemplary product design by Hadid from the past decade is also featured. Interviews from 1995 and 2007 allow critical insight regarding Hadid’s own reflections on global economic shifts and their impact on architectural practice over time. An essay by Patrick Schumacher examines the singular architect’s legacy in further detail.
