Post 7:Who is a person/expert on your field that you admire?
Zaha Hadid (Baghdad, 1950 - Miami, United States, 2016) was an Iraqi architect, one of the leading figures in contemporary world architecture. She was the first woman to receive the Pritzker Architecture Prize, in 2004. She received the UK's most prestigious architectural award, the Stirling Prize, in 2010 and 2011. In 2012, she was made a Dame by Elizabeth II for services to architecture, and in 2015 she became the first and only woman to be awarded the Royal Gold Medal from the Royal Institute of British Architects.
She was described by The Guardian of London as the "Queen of the curve", who "liberated architectural geometry, giving it a whole new expressive identity".
Some works include the aquatic centre for the London 2012 olympics, michigan state university's broad art museum in the US, the MAXXI museum in rome, the guangzhou opera house in China and the beijing daxing international airport, also in China.
For my zaha hadid is a woman who revealed herself in front of a very geometrized architecture dominated by simple and compact figures, she is one of the icons of modern architecture for the way of enbellecer and give a sense to architecture through the curve and the play of light and shadow that these provoke, separates and takes the architecture to a new level and with a way of expressing it iconic of it.

The geometry in her projects are interesting to see
