The first book published on Zaha Hadid since her death in 2016, although book had been well into production. She is very inspiring and if you read her story it can really motivate you in becoming the best that you can be in your life. The picture book is a MUST HAVE for any biography section and celebrates achievements by a woman in history in a field mostly populated by male counterparts. Working for more than fifteen years for clients in top advertising agencies, her books combine creativity with learning, aiming to establish a new and fresh relationship between children and pop culture.

Meet Emmeline Pankhurst, an inspiring women's rights activist who changed the world for future generations of women. He has been deeply engaged with the world of architecture for almost fifty years and has written numerous monographs on the work of late 20th-century architects.

While studying at the University of Beirut, she was escribed as the most outstanding pupil the teacher had ever met. You learn all about the talented architect but most importantly you understand the perseverance it took to achieve the success that she did! This comprehensive survey of over two hundred projects—from her earliest experimentations to product design, from speculative follies to large-scale built works—is a testament to the depth, range, and inventiveness of her vision. I'm sad and disappointed that I've never heard of Zaha Hadid, who is a contemporary and fire architect whose identities include being female, Muslim, and from Iraq and Britain.

With her most recent commission, Cincinnati's Contemporary Arts Center, architect Zaha Hadid becomes the first woman ever to design an American museum. This inspiring book features stylish and quirky illustrations and extra facts at the back, including a biographical timeline with historical photos and a detailed profile of the architect’s life. That said, I look forward to seeing more from the team who put this together because creating a story about an architect that works pretty well is no easy feat! With her spectacular vision and belief in the power of architecture, she founded her own firm and designed some of the most outstanding buildings in the world - including the London 2012 Olympic Aquatic Centre.
