Zaha Hadid CBE is a notable British deconstructivist architect and the first female architect recipient of the Pritzker Architecture Prize. Born in Baghdad, Iraq, she received a degree in mathematics from the American University of Beirut before moving to study at the Architectural Association School of Architecture in London.

After graduating she worked with her former teacher, Dutch architect Rem Koolhaas at the Office for Metropolitan Architecture, becoming a partner in 1977. In 1980 she established her own London-based practice. A winner of many international competitions, a number of Hadid's winning designs were never built: notably, The Peak Club in Hong Kong (1983) and the Cardiff Bay Opera House in Wales (1994). In 2002 Hadid won the international design competition to design Singapore's one-north masterplan. In 2005, her design won the competition for the new city casino of Basel, Switzerland. In 2004 Hadid became the first female recipient of the Pritzker Architecture Prize. Previously, she had been awarded a CBE for services to architecture.
