Product Description
Book Description
Having trained and lectured at London’s prestigious Architectural Association and worked with Rem Koolhaas in his Office for Metropolitan Architecture, Zaha Hadid opened her own practice in 1987, and since then she has gained worldwide recognition for her bold and original vision. Long admired for her dazzling "paper architecture," in recent years Hadid has won much critical and popular acclaim with her built work, and this volume features such celebrated high-profile projects as the Vitra Fire Station in Weil am Rhein, Germany, the Mind Zone at the Millennium Dome outside of London, and the legendary Monsoon Bar in Tokyo. With the completion in 2003 of the Contemporary Arts Center in Cincinnati, Hadid achieved the distinction of being the only woman to have ever designed a major American museum. This comprehensive monograph offers a complete overview of Hadid’s work—from her designs, drawings, and paintings to her sketches, plans, and models.

Nearly Comprehensive, but where are the drawings?, Jun 5 2005
By M. Fimbres - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Zaha Hadid (Hardcover)
This is nearly a comprehensive volume of Hadid's work. Four books are included in the case. The first is a large book that includes color pictures and computer renderings. The second is a tall thin book which includes project documentation, such as computer images and hard models. The third book is smaller still, and has text describing each project. Lastly a samller book of her sketches is included. However, plans and elevations are no where to be found. Not a one. I find this extremely strange. With such a comprhensive volume, why the publisher decided not to include drawings is beyond me. Also, the plastic box that incases all the books is cheaply made, and cracks easily. It should have been made from some type of paper board, not plastic.

Profound work, sadly packaging is brittle, Dec 21 2005
By Aleksandar Vasic - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Zaha Hadid (Hardcover)
The books are well worth the investment, sadly the plastic with which they are encased in is brittle and prone to cracking. I received my copy in the mail today and it was already damaged due to shipping. I see it falling apart in the near future. Some of the fragments have scratched the book encased with in. Needless to say i am not happy. Maybe some foresight into the packaging design would have been nice by Rizzoli publishing. Would have given it 5 stars had the packaging been designed to be a little more durable. I understand that i am not the only one who has experienced this.aLEKs

This review is from: Zaha Hadid (Hardcover)
Encontré que este material (formado por cuatro libros) es excelente para los arquitectos que estén interesados en conocer de cerca el pensamiento complejo de la arquitecta Hadid y la forma en la que desarrolla nuevas ideas para nuevos edificios.La calidad de la edición es extraordinaria. La caja de acrílico llegó en buenas condiciones (envío internacional DHL).
