Zaha Hadid

Quick, someone, give me a fan! I won’t verbalize what thoughts pop into my head with that remark.

I enjoy going to Zaha’s lectures because like a favorite cast member from any given reality show one waits for her to say something that will provoke, shock, horrify and/or amuse and as always she succeeds. What fun! I can’t get enough.

I noted at the end there were approximately 470 slides. Is there no ability to ‘filter’ all that information? Perhaps the deletion of that one slide that reveals a slightly different perspective of a given design may result in death or even worse, the Wrath.

For the most part, I found the work and the representation of the ideas very beautiful with the exception of the ‘tailed’ building ideas – What was that? I need to see more. I sat there and tried to absorb some minuscule aspect of technique or idea (I want to be diva too!!!). I always wonder what she would have been like as a student. How she handled life at the AA, her colleagues and tutors? Of course, there is no way of knowing but my imagination goes into overdrive.
