Incredible! Some of those are like sculptures. I love the undulating lines - such movement!
ReplyDeleteShe is brilliant! (As the British say).
DeleteFantastic post! I love it when I can increase my knowledge.
ReplyDeleteI really like the organic shapes. It seems as the buildings would live and move.
Thanks! I concur
DeleteHello!
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful to return to you and read a post about a woman in whom we hold e highest esteem. Zaha Hadid is so original in her designs and her buildings often seem to defy gravity. There is always such movement in them and a confident use of space and materials. Amazing!
Thank you so much for your welcoming words. We have missed you!
Zaha is a rare talent, though I am not a big fan of modernistic architecture, even I find myself mesmerized by her design.
DeleteThanks for your kind words, you too were missed immensely.
