The Complete Zaha Hadid
Essay by Aaron Betsky

Zaha Hadid is one of the most important and influential architects in the  world. This is a complete monograph of Hadid’s early, unbuilt and built works, from her student years to the latest projects under development, and includes her furniture, stage and exhibition designs. Projects – constructed, in planning or under construction – are located around the globe. An introduction by Aaron Betsky, 2008 Director of the Venice Architecture Biennale, examines the architect’s career, both in the context of architectural history and as a manifestation of the current and future state of architecture.
