Zaha: An Architectural Legacy
One year after Zaha Hadid died, this film takes a look at her career, and legacy, through five stages which signal significant progressions in her work.

The film begins with her drawings and paintings while at the Architectural Association, then captures her first built project at Vitra, moving on to the Stirling Prize-winning MAXXI, which secured her place in the architectural canon, and the London Aquatics Centre – a building which made her known to the public – and finishes with the Maths Gallery at the Science Museum, completed just months after her death.

Featuring interviews with those who knew her including long-time collaborator Patrik Schumacher, architects Eva Jiricna and Nigel Coates, urbanist Ricky Burdett, AJ editor-in-chief Christine Murray and engineer Hanif Kara, the film gives thoughtful insight into the impact Zaha had on the architectural profession.

Editors note : I knew her at the AA. I was never convinced by the shapes she created. I think others did it better, what do you think?

She broke the rules to make meaningful useful objects, that's how you make design something transcendental and not just a "product" or just another "building", thanks to her one can say: "I'm a designer".

RIP Architect Zaha Hadid

The Beijing Daxing International Airport was one the last buildings she was working on when she died, I will visit the airport when it opens to admire her work

Michael Flynn

The Heydar Aliyev Center in Baku, Azerbaijan is an absolute masterpiece. It transforms the state and its ambition.
