Your interactive digital magazine Uncube fetaures in the new issue no. 37: ZAHA! Dame Hadid polarises opinion like no other, yet here is an architect who has won every top award worth having in her discipline (recently adding the 2016 RIBA Royal Gold Medal to her collection) and whose work undisputedly pushes the technical and formal boundaries of building.
 
To mark the occasion of her 65th birthday on October 31, 2015, uncube have consciously put aside for a moment the headline news fodder and interview fiascos to focus on the actual architect and her architecture. Read here the voices and viewpoints of colleagues, critics and contemporaries, from Greg Lynn, Bernard Tschumi, Aaron Betsky, Patrik Schumacher and the Pet Shop Boys to Brendan Cormier and Hélène Binet, not to mention an exclusive new interview with Zaha Hadid herself.

Love her or hate her, one thing’s for sure: there ain’t nothing like this Dame!
