In 1983 Hadid gained international recognition with her competition-winning entry for The Peak, a leisure and recreational centre in Hong Kong. She was inspired by Kazimir Malevich and the Suprematicts, her aggressive geometric designs are characterised by a sense of a movement.

Hadid’s design for The Peak was never realized, nor were most of her other radical designs in the 1980s and early ’90s. This and other projects bring her to victory in the prestigious architectural competitions and then the popularity among professionals, but …Hadid began to be known as a “paper architect ”.

Hadid’s first major built project was the Vitra Fire Station( ) in Germany. Composed of series of sharply angled planes,the structure is like the bird in the flight.

This centre was the first American museum designed by a woman. Essentially a vertical series of cubes and voids, the museum is located in the middle of Cincinnati’s downtown area.

The side that faces the street has a translucent glass facade that invites passersby to look in on the workings of the museum.

In 2010 Hadid’s imaginative design for the MAXXI museum of contemporary art and architecture in Rome earned her the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) Stirling Prize for the best building completed in the past year.

She won a second Stirling Prize Evelyn Grace Academy, a secondary school in London. The complex consists of four small schools, which are built in a zigzag manner in harmony with the running track and sports fields.
