In 1972 she traveled to London to study at the Architectural Association, a major centre of progressive architectural thought during the 1970s.

Hadid established her own London-based firm, Zaha Hadid Architects (ZHA), in 1979.

In 1983 Hadid gained international recognition with her competition-winning entry for The Peak, a leisure and recreational centre in Hong Kong. This design, a “horizontal skyscraper” that moved at a dynamic diagonal down the hillside site, established her aesthetic: inspired by Kazimir Malevich and the Suprematists, her aggressive geometric designs are characterized by a sense of fragmentation, instability, and movement. This fragmented style led her to be grouped with architects known as “deconstructivists,” a classification made popular by the 1988 landmark exhibition “Deconstructivist Architecture” held at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City.

This article will take a look at some of the most famous and influential architects in the world and their legacies.
