RIP Zaha Hadid
One of my favourite Architects has left us.
Did some work for her many years ago, hard as nails, but a brilliant designer.

I would urge everyone to listen to her recent appearance on Desert Island Discs. It can be downloaded as an mp3 at the following address:
BBC Radio 4 - Desert Island Discs, Dame Zaha Hadid

She certainly left her mark in architecture.
She has two current DA's in south east qld btw.
Inner Brisbane (approved but in court due to legal action from a neighbour):

Gold Coast (proposed):

Really like the Gold Coast proposal. The main criticism of her always seemed to be she ignored a particular locations context and just designed what she wanted to. I can see that in the podium of her Gold Coast design but the towers are just so nice.

I had the pleasure of helping out a bit on this one. Canned by the GFC.
