Zaha Hadid
Zaha Hadid was a revolutionary architect, who for many years built almost nothing, despite winning critical acclaim. Some even said her audacious, futuristic designs were unbuildable.During the latter years of her life, Hadid’s daring visions became a reality, bringing a unique new architectural language to cities and structures as varied as the Rosenthal Center for Contemporary Art in Cincinnati, hailed by The New York Times as “the most important new building in America since the Cold War”; the MAXXI Museum in Rome; the Guangzhou Opera House in China; and the London 2012 Olympics Aquatics Centre.At the time of her unexpected death in 2016, Hadid was firmly established among the elite of world architecture, recognized as the first woman to win both the Pritzker Prize for architecture and the RIBA Royal Gold Medal, but above all as a giver of new forms, the first great architect of the noughties.From her early sharply angled buildings to later more fluid architecture that made floors, ceilings, walls, and furniture part of an overall design, this essential introduction presents key examples of Hadid’s pioneering practice. She was an artist, as much as an architect, who fought to break the old rules and crafted her own 21st-century universe.About the seriesBorn back in 1985, the Basic Art Series has evolved into the best-selling art book collection ever published.

Michele Zaza
Michele Zaza (Molfetta, 1948) has never defined himself as a photographer - even though he mainly uses the photographic tool - but more as 'a thinker of images'.In a period, the seventies, characterised by an analytical attitude towards the structure of the artistic language, Zaza pursued one of the most interesting researches with his peculiar use of photography. Although his culture is strongly anchored to the Mediterranean world - his origins are from the south of Italy - the artist adopts an operative strategy in which every emotional or rhetorical overload is cancelled. In the name of a rigorous research whose basic foundation is the knowledge of philosophical discourse, the imaginary sequences of Zaza are constructed using recurrent symbols: the body - his own and his parents' - the earth, the stones, the stairs, the lightbulbs, clocks and bread. These are essential elements that convey the artist's meditative need to investigate the profound meaning of life, whose only possibility of being unveiled is the recourse to primary forces, especially that of the human figure deprived of any cultural overload.

Zaha Hadid Interviews
The Zaha Hadid Interviews brings together twelve conversations between the architect and Hans Ulrich Obrist, conducted between 2001 and 2013. Across these exchanges, Hadid reflects on architecture as a field of experimentation, shaped by drawing, exhibition-making, urbanism and new technologies. The interviews trace the evolution of her thinking from early speculative projects to the realisation of major cultural buildings, including museums and civic spaces across Europe, Asia and the United States. Hadid discusses interior complexity, movement and perception, the testing of ideas through exhibitions and installations and the relationship between architecture, art and performance. She also addresses collaboration, authorship and the challenges of translating radical ideas into built form. Illustrated with drawings and paintings — some of which are published here for the first time — models, documentary and archival photographs, The Zaha Hadid Interviews offers an intimate portrait of a highly influential figure in contemporary architecture.
