In Pictures: Zaha Hadid’s award-winning designs

The death of famed architect Zaha Hadid rocked the architecture industry last week. Like many people around the world, I was deeply sadden to hear about the untimely passing of a woman who Dared to Dream. Dared to Be Bold. Dared to Be an original.

The Pritzker Family and the Pritzker Architecture Prize organization quickly shared their thoughts on Dame Hadid with us, and here we are, sharing them with you now. Dame Hadid was the 2004 Pritzker Architecture Prize laureate, recognized for her extraordinary talent and prodigious artistic outpouring. She also served on the Pritzker Architecture Prize jury in 2012. Eventhough she is no longer with us, her legacy and vision will continue to shine, and inspire a multitude of man and woman across the globe.

“Zaha represented the highest aspirations of the Pritzker Architecture Prize. She combined her vision and intellect with a force of personality that left no room for complacency. She made a real difference.” Tom Pritzker, Chairman of the Hyatt Foundation

“The world of culture has lost a standard-bearer for the art of architecture. Zaha Hadid fought prejudice all her life with great success. And this, in addition to her genius as an architect, will secure her legacy for all time.” The Chair of the Jury of the Pritzker Architecture Prize Jury, Lord Peter Palumbo
