11 Iconic Designs: A Tribute To The "Queen Of The Curve," Architect Zaha Hadid

Dame Zaha Hadid, one of the world's most renowned architects, female icon, and Pritzker Prize winner, died suddenly on Thursday, 31 March, at the age of 65. We remember the design visionary, who, in a world dominated by straight lines, sharp edges and sparkling skyscrapers, stood out with inimitable curves that form some of the most boundary pushing urban structures today.
