No matter what Zaha’s she is the mother of architecture
She deserves to be respected, she is unique and plays with forms and shapes ,she things out of the box
Before commenting something about creation , people needs to understand that its not a easy task .
She is amazing ……

Quite Intriguing! These design look as if they are defying gravity.

And you, HAG, you’re among the ‘oens’ who don’t know English.
Leaving behind the question if Zaha’s design was appropriate or not, architecture design is simply not aircraft or car design. It’s about site and perception, because a building should never move at 200 mph. Instead, will be watched from many angles.
Btw, the weirdest architecture – see Zaha’s works – it’s not necessarily the fittest for a solid textured city. Not all that is slanted or oblique is state of the art,neither revolutionary.

I agree with Soapbox

and for the oens thaht think this architecture isnt functional or usefull. look at the plans, an tell me whats the deference between that proyects and “functional proyects”, today, isn’t impossible separate the functionally of the form, in the modernism, with the tecnologies used, thats don’t was possible.

and, who, says, a casino needs looks like a casino, who says how a casino looks like?. isn’t written in a holy bible…..

and im shure tahta the almost people that comment here, don have idea about aechitecture and form

we do live in a society that is hiding behind walls. The walls are the boundaries of our world. People seem to be too fearful of going past, as one of you reply “past the classical era” of victorian architecture. The costs must be thought about to construct such work. Her work is simply ahead of the game in terms of vision and design. Even such buildings/designs for the Aquatic centre for London are inspiring by Zaha, she is simply arch-wonder woman. !!
