The Complete Zaha Hadid (Thames & Hudson 60th Anniversary Edition)

Thames & Hudson is celebrating it’s 60th Anniversary! To mark this special birthday we will be reissuing 20 titles from across our list as special editions. Popular when first published, popular now, with the added spice that – enhanced by their unique 60th Anniversary cover and jacket designs – they are set to become collectors items.

An affordably priced, comprehensive publication on the entire output of the world’s most exciting architect. For over thirty years, Zaha Hadid, the Iraqi-born, English-educated architect, has symbolized the vanguard of contemporary architecture. Her continually new ideas never fail to stun the world of design with their commitment to revolutionary forms. As a result she is one of the most respected architects in the world, with an enormous following of students and practitioners, visionaries and designers.

In this book, Hadid’s vision of architecture is revealed: at once thrillingly dynamic and intensely thoughtful. Her complete work is illustrated here by her electrifying drawings and paintings, plus hundreds of sketches, plans and models. An introduction by Aaron Betsky, 2008 Director of the Venice Architecture Biennale, examines Hadid’s stellar career, both in the context of architectural history and as a manifestation of the current and future state of architecture.
