Zaha Hadid Architects, lead by Zaha Hadid, a 63 year-old powerhouse Iraqi-British architect is the first female owned firm in seven years to be awarded
"Design of the Year 2014" by London's Design Museum. Charged with creating a culture center that embodied "the present-day and its attachment both to the past and to the future," in the former Soviet Union city Baku, Azerbaijan - Hadid's prized work, the
Heydar Aliyev Center is a curvaceous structure that implores her signature style, lines, modernism and amble use of natural light. Breathtaking and appearing to defy gravity, it is clear even to the untrained eye why her latest creation deserves endless praise.
