Building Zaha : the story of architect Zaha Hadid
\"The city of Baghdad was full of thinkers, artists, and scientists, the littlest among them Zaha Hadid. Zaha knew from a young age that she wanted to be an architect. She set goals for herself and followed them against all odds. A woman in a man's world, and a person of color in a white field, Zaha was met with resistance at every turn. When critics called her a diva and claimed her ideas were unbuildable, she didn't let their judgments stop her from setting goals and achieving them one by one, finding innovative ways to build projects that became famous the world over. She persisted, she followed her dreams, and she succeeded.\"--Google Books.

Zaha Hadid
Née dans une famille aisée de Bagdad, en Irak, la petite Zaha Hadid commence à dessiner ses vêtements et à concevoir les meubles de sa chambre à l'âge d'à peine sept ans. Musulmane, elle fréquente une école catholique très prestigieuse où toutes les religions sont les bienvenues et, une fois adolescente, poursuit ses études dans un pensionnat en Suisse avant d'étudier les mathématiques à Beyrouth et de faire une maîtrise en architecture à Londres, où ses édifices aux silhouettes étranges, très différents de ceux de ses camarades, éblouissent ses professeurs. Des années plus tard, elle convainc les meilleurs ingénieurs de travailler avec elle, n'hésitant pas à utiliser des technologies et des outils informatiques inédits dans son domaine pour trouver des solutions à des problèmes techniques et bâtir ce qui paraissait à première vue impossible. Les ponts, stades, opéras et gratte-ciel aux accents futuristes auxquels elle donne vie métamorphosent l'apparence des villes à travers le monde, faisant d'elle non seulement la l'une des architectes les plus réputées de son époque, mais également la première musulmane et la première femme à avoir remporté le prix Pritzker, la plus haute distinction qui existe dans son domaine.
