The New York Times describedthe building as “the most important new building in America since the Cold War.” Once her talent wasrecognized, commissions started coming in to design a variety of projects, including public transportation,libraries, and opera houses. In 2004, Hadid became the first woman to win the prestigious Pritzker Prize.She also won the Stirling Prize in 2010 and 2011.Hadid’s interest in architecture had roots in a trip her family took to the ancient Sumer region insouthern Iraq, the site of one of the world’s oldest civilizations, when she was a teenager. She recalled:“The beauty of the landscape—where sand, water, reeds, birds, buildings, and people all somehow flowedtogether—has never left me. I’m trying to discover—invent, I suppose—an architecture, and forms of urbanplanning, that do something of the same thing in a contemporary way.”Nature’s forms appear as a recurrent source of inspiration for Hadid’s architecture. Her designs aredaring and visionary experiments with space and with the relationships of buildings to their urbansurroundings. She consistently pushes the boundaries of architecture and urban design in the pursuit of avisionary aesthetic that expresses her ideals.
