Architect Stories: Zaha Hadid
The first woman to win the Pritzker Prize for Architecture in its 26-year history, Zaha Hadid has defined her architecture with sensual curves and a lack of right angles. She creates buildings that revel in multiple perspectives and seem to mirror the fragmentation of modern living. Born in Baghdad in 1950, Zaha Hadid currently resides in London, but her architectural mark is seen across the planet, with projects such as the Rosenthal Center for Contemporary Art in Cincinnati and the BMW plant in Leipzig. She's also designing the 2012 Olympic aquatic center in London, which is typical of her style, with its sinuous and fluid lines.Take a look at some of her innovative and futuristic designs and buildings.

Her work is really neat. I could see why she was awarded the Pritzker Prize.
Generally, I don't like it when a woman's sex is emphasized when she recieves professional recognition or acclaim. In this case, Hadid was awarded because she's an excellent architect. Being a female has practically nothing to do with it, yet that's clearly pointed out. I don't like it when this happens, especially when a women is being recognized for professional merit.
