Her life , struggle , success is all inspiring...what is stopping Hollywood to make a movie about her..
Absolutely, she’s such a legend. Hopefully a movie will come out soon 🙂
Because she's middle eastern??
@@moizahmed7392 Agree. It's because of politics and enviness.
Not a reboot…hollywood likes to make money more than educate/inspire.
They won't make money. It's about money and politics on the core
I met her on a photoshoot about 20yr ago, everyone said she was scary but she was lovely to me. A Great talent!
What a wonderful encounter!
Завтра пойду погуляю перед тем центром что она сотворила
I met her too. she was a monster
Maybe she likes you.
@@narcovlog1 why?
She was way ahead of her time and an extreme example of imagination and ingenuity. Thanks!
😍👍🏻
Zaha Hadid architecture designed Navi Mumbai International airport which is just 3km away from my home, it's under construction right now, exited to see the when it's ready 😊
I’m very proud that we have Zaha Hadid’s architecture in Baku. It’s beautiful, modern and unique
I wish we had one in Turkey as well😔
Her design of airport in China is awesome too
@@mevlutusur1361 come to the one in Baku
@@valentinanik8573 I saw picture of Haydar Aliyev Center by Hadid.. it's a splendid building
@@mevlutusur1361 you would've but you hate every arab and you hate Iraqis too. And Zaha Hadid is an iraqi.
Madam Zaha Hadid, the greatest architect of this century, the Queen of Curves.. Huge respect for her💜
Iraqi 🇮🇶🔥
Is she related to Gigi Hadid?
@@buzzlight680 no
What an architect. What a woman. I just love the style in her buildings.
😍👍🏻
she is one of the greatest architect
I am also from Iraq and I aspire to become like Zaha Hadid because she is the source of my inspiration ♡
lol ,we can't do anything as long as we live in this country, under the authority of this government🤠
@@lilithoctober6321 Stupid Iran. I hope the Islamic Republic gets destroyed along with its people.
I've watched various of Zaha's mini-biography videos, but no one seemed to blatantly show the major influences for her design, including her role model. I just knew from here that the shape of calligraphy appeared on her mental image and influenced her works. Thanks, Muse! Thumbs up for including an expert to complete and validate the content that you've compiled.
The only thing that tingling up in my mind is the use of social media elements (including like button and emoji that doesn't seem to fit the theme) as a tool to festive the content. I get that it used to attract the younger generation. But, hey! It's a different platform. You can keep delivering the elegant content in a modern style while engaging more viewers. I am sure that quality content still reaches the crowd even without that added details. I hope your content peaks at high traffic.
Nevertheless, thank you for helping student understands architectural history in short deliberately explained videos!
Thank you so much! We are indeed torn between using the social media elements and keeping it simple…. so hard to decide! 😅
@@CuriousMuse I am definitely also for the simpler style. The social media elements irritated me quite a bit and seemed a bit tacky, if I'm honest. But other than that it's a very well-done video report, thank you so much!
Her all building designs here in China are all stunning
She is from my country 🇮🇶 IRAQ and we love her ❤
She is British and she doesn’t care about your Iraq
If she still Iraqi she could be like you
@@user-pi3fi1yp1r She is Iraqi, and nothing is going to change that. Also, why do you try to put down your Arab brothers? We are one people and our glories are shared.
@@HamajiGotTalent yeah... Glories are shared... That's right.... But recognition and recognizing among themselves is very important.... That makes lot of importance to the person as well as to the community and in between the nations who belong to the same religion.....
@@user-pi3fi1yp1r She is Iraqi, born in Mosul, from a very wealthy family in Mosul, and studied only in Britain. She is not British.
It's great honour to see Haydar Aliyev's center on your thumbnail ❤️
😚🙏🏻
Please, do make more architecture videos, particularly on more contemporary architects and movements! I use your videos often in my classes, because they are so informative, but there's a general lack of videos that sum up in simple and concise terms the design principles of contemporary architecture. You'd definitely contribute to fill this void! Thanks, Muse, I really love your work!
Love your feedback, thank you very much. Yes, we've got a few videos coming up on contemporary architectural movements, so stay tuned ☺️
@Son Of Rabat you just sound jealous
@Son Of Rabat It’s because we’ve adapted to the kind of architecture that is already existed, its efficiency and productivity. What makes her career far beyond others’ is that back in her time, no one is that capable and she was the pioneer in making her design timeless.
Hi Priscilla, I Agree. Sometimes in Many Countries esp in 3rd World practicing the profession will be limited to Budgetary Constraint😞
But Love Your Feedback of how you use this great video as a tool to sum up and inspires your students
BIG CHEERS🍸🍸🍸❤️👍🙏
As an engineer/designer/architect you are taught to optimize the use of materials, cost and space and provide solution with least waste. Given these constraints most people work in, it is hard to design grandiose structure if not backed by wealthy firms or connections. Being creative is a part of the answer but having connections is what can realise those ideas to reality. That break and that capital is hard to find. That dosen't take away from her sucess but an acknowledgement of material conditions is also warrented.
Great point!
The thing is, how long did she work, and get rejected to reach the level she got to? For sure, it wasn't handed to her on a plate.
First of all, as a woman, she gave architecture a feminine point of Vue. We drove on her bridge visiting Abu Dhabi, it was like flying 💓
I remember her from way back. She won a competition at the Architectural Association with a building that looked unbuildable. After that she spent years being known as a designer of unbuildable buildings until she finally managed to design something that could be built, probably with help from very good engineers.
“Known as a designer of the unbuildable buildings” …. 😅
At least she known for something...
For some reason I remember well the drawing of that building with which she won the competition and this is a long time ago, before CAD, drawn by hand.
She is the best architect in the universe !!!!! I love her creations, She is so brilliant 👍👍😍😍🌹🌹🌹🌹💋💋💋💋💋💋💖💖💖💖
Brilliant indeed 💎
Thank you for this amazing video! I’ve learned something new today ☺️🙏🏻
Great video, thank you very much for explaining everything very well!
Our pleasure! 🙏🏻
As an Iraqi woman she is my Incredible source of inspiration .
A truly legend ❤️
Very inspiring indeed I love her👏👌
This building is a magnificent duo, everyone should come to Baku and see this building. Haydar Aliyev 🇦🇿
I was expecting mentioning her work in Morocco. She managed to create beauty in the making of the national theater of Rabat. Such an amazing thing to see. My god rest her soul.
Me too ❤🙏🏼
This was great, thanks so much, learned a lot
Wonderful 😙, we also have another video about top 5 architects to know incl. Zaha 👌🏻
What an amazing video! I specially liked that you mentioned those who inspired her.
☺️🙏🏻
As Iraqis we are truly proud of our daughter Zaha 🇮🇶❤
Yes! More quick hits like this about famous architects and architectural styles!
👍🏻
Zaha's architecture inspires in a way that is hard to describe. OK, it's just a building, but it's a building that makes you imagine. I'm technical and work with code, and for me, there is beauty in simplicity and effectiveness, but I'd rather see an interesting building on my way to work than another dull concrete creation.
The Salerno Port terminal is one of my favourites as well as Capital Hill Residence (from all angles except the ‘front’) but the Heydar Aliyev is the pinnacle of her work 👌
one of the best inspiring creativity still gives the noncompleteness as no one is the perfect IMPACTS modern views
thanks
Zaha Hadid is a Top Notch Achitect❤❤❤
😍
Dame Zaha Hadid is a gem, rare genius and the most extraordinary architect of our time! She is sooo underrated!!
Totally 💯
Great Work !
Wow... I love it. Thank you
Literally.. She is gr8 artist & her designs are MAsterPiEcE😎🤟
Her architecture in Baku is mesmerizing

One of her masterpieces is in our city Baku. One of places where tourists like take photo.
Wow. Her work is amazing!
Totally 💯👌🏻
👏absolutely great talent💐congratulations💎have a blessed🙏⭐
Such wonderful buildings!!
Watching how her scorpion building was built in Miami Florida in 2016. I'm embarrassed to say, I've not heard of her until now - Nov 25th 2021. What a magnificent human being!!! SHE should definitely have a movie made about her life! Is it because she's a woman I wonder? I'd love to have known her and what made her tic.
Where are you HOLLYWOOD?
TIME TO HONOR THIS PHENOMENAL WOMAN!!
🦋🌹
Nothing to be embarrassed of, great you’ve come across this video and learned something new! 😚 We hope you’ll also like our other architecture videos (green cover) 🙏🏻
Zaha Hadid is one of my "heroes." Her architecture translates well to hand-built ceramic structures.
☺️👍🏻
This looks so goooood
Amazing video!
Nika, you're too kind :) , and thank you for signing up for the art course!
H. Aliyev center in Baku, Azerbaijan is one of the most ambitious projects of hers, also shown in this video several times but the name wasn't mentioned.
It’s a stellar building indeed 😍
@@CuriousMuse hello. why did you not mention the name of the building? it is not good seeing all names of other buildings but not Heydar Aliyev's center.
I love your channel, it is soooo interesting. Have you done anything about Gaudi? Thank you!
Thank you - hopefully we’ll make a video about gaudi in the future 😍
Conocí y estuve en el vestíbulo de su edificio en Melbourne , ubicado en la avenida Collins , reconocí inmediatamente su diseño , espectacular , organico y futurista ... 😍
With wealth came uncompromising independence that most other architects struggle and very few can do Follies, blow them up the scale to squeeze functional spaces in-between. I knew Zaha as a person and she was vulnerable, lonely and even shy but defensive for her love of her art.
We were invited once to go sailing on a friend’s sailboat . Suddenly I realized that the day trip would strain her bladder as the heads were too small for her larger than life size. I was so relieved, no pun, that she declined .
La manera en la que diseñaba realmente es inovadora y vanguardista. Una de las mejores arquitectas en general. Mi ejemplo a seguir como arquitecto mexicano. Quiero lograr lo que ella logro siguiendo sus pasos. De verdad una mente unica y moldeable.
Mexico producing very good architects good luck. from California .
MashaAllah stunning works 🙌🏼🔥❤️
❤️ From Bangladesh 🇧🇩
زها حديد من أروع مهندسي العصر
😍
عراقية 🇮🇶
She really inspire me
She does this to us too! 😍
A great lady in her path...profession
.. innovation....a great ideal for young Architects....Architect amjad aly
Awesome video, hard to believe this channel isnt getting much traffic so far! The only thing id improve is probably get rid of the repetitive use of ui element from social media platforms ie Facebook live Instagram and etc. I think these design choices cheapen the otherwise very high quality content.
Kinda gives off watchmojo vibes rather than kurtzgesagt. But idk guys, you do you :)
I know, right? It IS hard to believe why it’s not getting much traffic. Since users can interact with us cross-platforms, we use these elements exactly to keep the audience engaged with us. Ex: someone watched a video here and then followed us on Instagram and continued to consume our content there. Once we grow a little more, we may reconsider the social elements 😇. If you have any ideas that can help us grow, be sure to let us know :)
Love her works! Genius !
😍👍🏻
Although I cant say I love her buildings or style, I have a lot of respect for her. She was obviously a very determined and hard working individual.
Great job! Congratulations!
Thank you so much 😀
She was so amazing and I am a fan who is sad that she's no longer with us.
We are all proud of Zaha hadid as Iraqi woman ❤
Great minds make great humans i surely appreciate this very interestng insight of a great Architect. 🙏
Zaha H. a révolutioné l'architecture par sa nouvelle manière de concevoir l'espace : une conception courageuse , folle , poétique et surtout revêtante . Bravo pour le partage .
👍🏻
She is really proud 😍❤
Proud of this Iraqi woman. She is surely an example for all young Iraqi girls. RIP
💪🏻
Architecture many thanks 😊
Hadid's Fire Station at 3:56 was mimicked (I believe) by the design of the powerful Flight 93 Memorial in Shanksville, PA
I worked both for her company and her personally.
oh wow!
Brilliant video about Zaha Hadid’s remarkable work and style so rich and creative while exalting the subtle curves and arabesque lines of Islamic architecture. As a Norwegian, I find it extraordinary to see the world’s most distinct Woman Architect is an Arab woman who comes from a part of the world known as the Cradle of Civilization. After all, the Western world ( the Greeks and Romans) took our knowledge from Mesopotamia, ancient Egypt and the Phoenicians. But we hardly ever acknowledge it because we are so self-centered. What a great discovery!
She hates being in Islam
no professor in mi used to like her architectural style until i went to study architecture
none of my professors actually like parametricism because it is created by computers and logaritms
it also never indulges the human itself, like the scale of her projects are huge, made to amaze from far away
well organizied rythem
These are very informative!
Could you please make one about Renzo Piano?
Thank you for your idea, we'll give it a think ☺️
Thanks for your contribution. High quality subject theme here that encourages me to follow you for similar subject matter, but I should add that the introduction to your channel gives off a holier -than-thou feeling, which is followed by the narrator's excessive emphasis in her speech pattern and rather extreme though off-putting superlatives. There is great but understated value in being more humble as it could easily turn off your followers. Zaha does not need the emphasis, as her legacy speaks for itself. Thanks for this précis on Zaha!! She had more to give us!!
Talent!👏👏👏👏❤️
She is my father's cousin
May God have mercy on him 🙏🏻
Zaha was a courageou and amazing architecture artist. She has fans across the globe.
Agree!
Very interesting
Previously, I was working at Kaspark designed by it in Riyadh and now we will open the Riyadh train designed by it
I havent seen this videos, at work right now..but i can say one thing. In terms of space utilisation people critisize her work for not maximising the space and buildings being useless sometimes. I absolutely love it i and i wish more architects get the chance to explore their creativity lile that. The problem is with architects they dont get the chance and approval by major building companies to build their designs, otherwose we would have many great buildings like hers....in china many things do grt approved and it starts to show that the west is nothing more than concrete withouth any nice design
She was amazing she made modern architecture look appealing unlike the numerous boxes that are put up everywhere these days.
Bravo Zaha, Bravo!!
Zaha Hadid, Iraqi 🇮🇶
Thanks for this Brief about our Great Archhitect,I would see more about her projects, so about Our Pioneers Architects like Frank L Wright,Lecourbsir and Neutra ,Regards.
Thanks for your feedback and suggestions!
Amazing woman, architect and leader! One of the greatest architects of all time...
😍💪🏻
Absolutely amazing! I was enchanted with her architectural vision! Absolutely majestic! She will be forever remembered by her fabulous masterpieces throughout world! Congratulations! 👏👏
I’m very proud that we have Zaha Hadid’s architecture in Rabat/Morocco. It’s beautiful, modern and unique.
I am very proud that my daughter, Zaha Hadid, designed one of the buildings in Baghdad before her passing, which is the Central Bank of Iraq.
Starting with her Follies Studio at the AA - look it up
The Greatest of All Time.
A maior arquiteta de todos os tempos ❤
She’s a monster architectural

I have some of her personality traits and dream of being an architect and doing what she was doing when she started having a passion for this profession.💖💖💖🤲🏻
😍

I too want to achieve something in architecture in future.As I am a student now
I have a lot of ideas.I hope I can make the ambition architecture more powerful..
Fingers crossed 🤞🏻 and good luck!

Great woman Zaha.
ياريت لو كان في العراق من اهتم في عبقريه المبدعه زها حديد وتصميمها لكن مع الاسف محد اهتم بيها وهيا الله يرحم ويجعل مثواه الجنه كانت ذكيه عرفت اين تكون موهبة
