IN MEMORY



























“I don’t really feel I’m part of the establishment. I’m not outside, I’m on the kind of edge, I’m dangling there. I quite like it … I’m not against the establishment per se. I just do what I do and that’s it.”

Her Design in [and] Architecture has been stunning many, for years.

I recently discovered her Abstract Painting and Drawing.

The curved designs of Hadid’s buildings are just awesome. It’s great to see the buildings from all angles.
