1. Her work is gorgeous!
2. Micsoda fanázia!
3. I want to be like u zahadidi.....
4. salute to Our greatest vision Lady.
5. I was at a lecture she gave before building anything, shortly after she won the Hong Kong Peak competition. She spent more than an hour showing slide after slide of that project and each slide was described as..."and this is a view of..." It was mind numbing; she was like a deer caught in the headlights. Needless to say she got rather better at that sort of thing.
6. A truly brilliant architect. Her building's are stunning and confusing at the same time. She will be greatly missed but has thankful blessed our world with many, many fine creations. I doff my cap.
7. the word 'controversial is true because no offence to her but her buildings look awful
8. Somewhere the wall of a sound studio is missing some of it's insulation.
9. Just knead some weird shape and call it architecture. So, what's the deal?
10. rod dale your comments on behalf of Zaha are immature and stale
11. Way to young, rest in peace Queen of the Curve and thank you for your beautiful mind.
12. Postmodern vacuity. Horrible bland buildings. Nothing avant garde about this style of architecture. Typical of the contemporary architecture that now blights all cities worldwide.
