Zaha Hadid has died: A recollection of some of her recent prestigious accolades

By Justine Testado|

Tributes to the one and only Dame Zaha Hadid continue to flood social media, upon the deeply saddening news of the architect's death from a heart attack at the age of 65 early Thursday morning in Miami. Zaha was a daring creative force from the very beginning. From her bold designs to her blunt words, she attracted both great acclaim and heated criticism. She had the ability to consistently shake things up in the architecture world — and leave a lasting influence.

Throughout her extensive decorative career, Zaha Hadid received an abundance of awards including the 2004 Pritzker Prize and most recently the 2016 RIBA Gold Medal — being the first woman architect to win both awards in her own right. Bustler rounded up some of our previous coverage on Zaha Hadid's accolades and award-winning projects that she and her firm have won over the last few years.

Zaha Hadid joins the ranks of RIBA Gold Medalists: “We will continue this progress”

Following RIBA's announcement back in September, Zaha Hadid was presented with the 2016 Royal Gold Medal. Being the first woman to win on her own accord, the RIBA Gold Medal is a crown jewel to Hadid's illustrious career, as well as another major highlight for women in architecture. "We now see more established female architects all the time. That doesn’t mean it’s easy. Sometimes the challenges are immense, " Hadid stated upon receiving the award. "There has been tremendous change over recent years and we will continue this progress."

Although it may appear that skyscrapers are all about "Who can build the tallest tower?", the Emporis Skyscraper Award is a reminder that fusing function and smart aesthetics are essential at any height.
