Zaha Hadid was awarded the Pritzker Prize, considered to be the Nobel Prize of architecture, in 2004. Each of her dynamic and innovative projects builds on over thirty years of revolutionary experimentation and research. Hadid consistently pushes boundaries with her exploration of new spatial concepts in the pursuit of a visionary aesthetic in the interrelated fields of urbanism, architecture and design. The Phaeno Science Center in Wolfsburg and the BMW Central Building illustrate Hadid’s quest for total fluidity. Previous seminal buildings such as the Rosenthal Center for Contemporary Art in Cincinnati and the Ordrupgaard Museum Extension have also been hailed as architecture that transforms our vision of the future with new spatial concepts and bold, visionary forms. In 2010 and 2011, ZHA’s designs were awarded the Stirling Prize by the RIBA. In 2012, Hadid was made a Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire by Queen Elizabeth II.
