Born in 1950 in Iraq, architect Zaha Hadid is known for her unusually keen, but unfortunately seldom realized architectural designs. After studying Mathematics in Beirut, she enrolled at the London Architectural Association, which was in those days, the most radical architecture school. One of her teachers was the Dutchman, Rem Koolhaas, who made her partner of his Office for Metropolitan Architecture after her studies in 1977. The young Zaha Hadid did not stay long. Koolhaas described her as "a planet with its own orbit". At first, she was unable to find contractors who wanted to realize her deconstructivist designs and their bold shapes. For years, she had the reputation as one of the most awarded but never built architects in the world.
