A truly brilliant architect. Her building's are stunning and confusing at the same time. She will be greatly missed but has thankful blessed our world with many, many fine creations. I doff my cap.

I hope there's an archive somewhere of her designs that have yet to be realized. imagine a world with an entire quarter of a city in Hadid, like you have neighborhoods of Eichler/Neutra or FLWright. or maybe to be recognized as a movement of style like Gaudi or Art Nouveau or Jugendstil

This architecture style is shallow postmodern rubbish. Pure emperor’s new clothes. Quirky for the sake of quirky. Non sequitur features, curves, shapes are added to buildings simply so the architect can claim a first. Previous architectural styles all had merit. They all told a people something about their history, what was pre-eminent at the time. The optimism of the post-war world (Modernism). Celebration of Empire (Victorian). A celebration of mass production (Bauhaus). PoMo architecture like this is ugly-fying cities worldwide.
