Always loved how aggressive her stuff was: I occasionally spend time near https://thebeautyoftransport.files.wordpress.com/2014/07/vau... and love looking at it. If you're into architecture, get a copy of https://www.taschen.com/pages/en/catalogue/architecture/all/...

Hadid was picked on by other working architects as a 'paper architect' until into her thirties: she'd win comps, but they'd never actually build her designs. These day's she is/was the #1 architect in the world. Persist, visionary people!


NB: The bus station in Vauxhall (linked) wasn't designed by Zaha, but by Arup's architecture dept


You're right. Too late to edit but +1.
