Hadid. Complete Works 1979–today Hardcover – Download: Adobe Reader, April 6, 2018

After comparing both side by side I concluded that handy "The Complete Zaha Hadid (Expanded and Updated)" by Thames & Hudson is better. It includes small technical drawings, which allow to visualize/understand the projects/designs/buildings better than this one. And some designs are quite complicated and confusing, as being flowing (not orthogonal), and really difficult to comprehend especially for an average reader (I have a degree in architecture). This book is incomplete not in the scope of projects, but in the presentation of each. I know, it is a coffee table publication very well printed on excellent paper, but it is also quite heavy and not convenient to hold in hands. I personally do not like it, but it is a good book, though the other one I consider be better. However, "de gustibus non est disputandum".

This is a gorgeous coffee table book that follows Hadid's career from her student days. I gave this as a gift along with the Eames book and he is really careful with this one. He won't even bring it to work, he's that careful so it doesn't get damaged. I really love that they include some of Hadid's artwork that's not necessarily architecture related. I feel that this rounds out the reader's view on her talent and showcases her drawing skill outside of architecture. The photos inside are fabulous and her work is stunning and inspiring for all kinds of artists.

Thanks~~~

The new book on Zaha Hadid is going to be a classic. It is a handsome collection of her numerous phases of development. It is the first architecture book in years that I can say it reads and looks like a traditional monograph.A fitting tribute!

I REALLY LIKE EVERYTHING SHE HAS DONE , IT IS A BIG LOSS FOR HUMANITY AND SPECIALLY FOR WOMEN, FANTASTIC EXAMPLE .OF WHAT YOU CAN DO AND LEAVE ON THIS EARTH ,,,,,,

great book with great design with great contents especially her early drawings, high resolution. valuable and meaningful

A great coffee table book. Hadid was on a greatness trajectory, until her illness.

Remarkable for all future architect

Photographs and brief descriptions of many of Hadid’s stunning realisations around the world dominate this large-format, weighty, and beautifully printed book. This is a fine coffee table candidate to lift the mind. Whatever one might think of the practicality some of the realisations, it displays a wonderful adventure in modern architecture and the beauty of the curve.

Here you do indeed have the complete works of A Hadid. Technology opens the door to architectural ideas which must have challenged the engineers. Am particularly pleased to see the introductory art work through to the completed project. A book you can dip into at any time and one that does not disappoint. Beautifully presented with remarkable photography, it makes one wish to visit these buildings in situ. A great book for the price.

The book fulfilled most expectations, the only dowside is the California speak verbose script and the tiny print sized captions. The photographs, the main reason for buying the book are brilliant. As for Zaha Hadid, she is nothing less than a pure genious, her work is way beyond any other practicing architect or artist of the latter 20th and early 21st centuries. Wht a great pity that she died so young.

This is a really thick, heavy book which is full of beautiful photographs. A perfect gift for anyone who admires the work of Zaha Hadid.

Beautifully presented
