Master Architect

After thinking about some of the most recognized architects in the world I decided on Zaha Hadid. Born and raised in Baghdad, Zaha studied at the Architectural Association School of Architecture in London where she was tutored by Dutch architect Rem Koolhaas. She has won many international awards, such as becoming the first female recipient of the Pritzker Architecture Prize, architecture's equivalent of the Nobel Prize. She is currently Professor at the University of Applied Arts Vienna in Austria. Zaha continues to push the boundaries of built form into contemporary architecture. I chose Zaha as my master architect because I believe it will be a challenge to design a warehouse from the influence of Zaha, pushing out of the conventional into the modern world.

Here are some websites on Zaha:

I have noted that Zaha likes utilize concrete as a favoured means of construction and/or form.
