Danh ngôn của Zaha Hadid (Sứ mệnh: 8)

If I wanted to do clothes or if I wanted to make a building or design a choreography, you are able to do that - they are all under a similar kind of design umbrella.
I've always thought that design can have equal importance to the idea of internal architecture. Professionally, things can be very dogmatic - you do the architecture, someone else does the interiors, someone else does the furniture, the fabric, etc. But I think design is all-encompassing.
I really love Miami, but I don't think the architecture matches the city. It's a bit too commercial.
Architecture is particularly difficult for women; there's no reason for it to be. I don't want to blame men or society, but I think it was for a long time, the clients were men, the building industry is all male.
Architecture is unnecessarily difficult. It's very tough.
I think about architecture all the time. That's the problem. But I've always been like that. I dream it sometimes.
People say I design architectural icons. If I design a building and it becomes an icon, that's ok.
Good education is so important. We do need to look at the way people are taught. It not just about qualifications to get a job. It's about being educated.
It's very important that historic cities are allowed to reinvent their future.
As a woman, I'm expected to want everything to be nice and to be nice myself. A very English thing. I don't design nice buildings - I don't like them. I like architecture to have some raw, vital, earthy quality.
Architecture is how the person places herself in the space. Fashion is about how you place the object on the person.
I don't think that architecture is only about shelter, is only about a very simple enclosure. It should be able to excite you, to calm you, to make you think.
I really believe in the idea of the future.
Half of architecture students are women, and you see respected, established female architects all the time.
I am equally proud of all of my architectural projects. It's always rewarding to see an ambitious design become reality.
Women are always told, 'You're not going to make it, its too difficult, you can't do that, don't enter this competition, you'll never win it,' - they need confidence in themselves and people around them to help them to get on.
Of course I believe imaginative architecture can make a difference to people's lives, but I wish it was possible to divert some of the effort we put into ambitious museums and galleries into the basic architectural building blocks of society.
