With her own spectacular vision and belief in the power of architecture, she founded her own firm and has designed some of the world's most incredible buildings. A woman in a man's world, and a person of color in a white field, Zaha was met with resistance at every turn. The city of Baghdad was full of thinkers, artists, and scientists, the littlest among them Zaha Hadid.

Zaha Hadid was a revolutionary architect, who for many years built almost nothing, despite winning critical acclaim. Born in Baghdad, Iraq, Hadid studied mathematics as an undergraduate and then enrolled at the Architectural Association School of Architecture in 1972.

With her spectacular vision and belief in the power of architecture, she founded her own firm and designed some of the most outstanding buildings in the world - including the London 2012 Olympic Aquatic Centre.
