扎哈·哈迪德1950年出生于巴格达，曾在黎巴嫩攻读数学学位，后于1972年进入英国建筑联盟AA学习建筑学。1979年扎哈创立了自己的事务所Zaha Hadid Architects，并凭借其在香港、德国和威尔士国际竞赛中突破性的设计迅速获得了世界的关注。 作为一位不断突破建筑和城市设计界限的建筑师，她的作品尝试了新的空间概念，强化了现有的城市景观并涵盖了从城市规模到室内和家具的所有设计领域。她以开创性的建筑作品而闻名，例如盖达尔•阿利耶夫文化中心、银河SOHO、萨勒诺海运码头、安特卫普港口集团大楼、科学博物馆数学展廊等。 Born in Baghdad in 1950, Zaha Hadid studied mathematics at the American University of Beirut before starting her architectural journey in 1972 at the Architectural Association in London. By 1979 she had established her own practice in London – Zaha Hadid Architects – garnering a reputation across the world for her ground-breaking theoretical works in Hong Kong, Germany and Wales. Known as an architect who consistently pushes the boundaries of architecture and urban design, her work experiments with new spatial concepts intensifying existing urban landscapes and encompassing all fields of design, from the urban scale to interiors and furniture. She is well-known for some of her seminal built works, such at the Heydar Aliyev Centre, Galaxy Soho, Salerno Maritime Terminal, Port House Antwerp, The Winton Gallery at the Science Museum, etc.
