Zaha Hadid, the British architect, has died.
For a long time she was the sort of architect I really disliked, in that she went year after year winning competition after competition, getting all sorts of prizes, and yet never getting any buildings built. In fact, she actually hardly got anything built in Britain in her whole career, but she'll probably be best remembered here for the Aquatic Centre at the London Olympics. Later in life she did start, finally, getting buildings built, albeit mainly abroad,and they were certainly dramatic and different, being very sculptural.
She was only 65.
