Summary: Disappointing
Comment: It must be said that Hadid's office staff are capable graphic artists, but it would be very wrong to make the assumption that these slick images lead to architecture. As her Cinicinatti art center shows, Hadid's built work is typically very unsatisfying. She has not grasped scale or contextual issues at all, largely due to her working in an abstract, purely graphic mode. The Vitra Building likewise is no longer used because it fails so badly as a building. If you are interested in real architectural issues, this book is not the place to start.
Rating: 4
Summary: Critical Architecture
Comment: This book is not for someone looking for structural systems, mechanical systems, or simply physical form. In other words, this book is not going to appeal to people who believe architecture is simply about building any kind of building. Zaha is trying to show us that architecture is so much more because it affects us in so many unimaginable ways. Her book and her work must be looked at carefully and consciously. Her work is about presenting critical ideas and opinions on constructions and the way we live. Take nothing for granted. We are not all contractors, developers, or money-hungry architects.

Summary: All Flash, No Substance
Comment: Hadid was one of those breakthrough architects who achieved early recognition merely for being different. (It is very easy to be different; it is difficult to be good.) Her work has always been insubstantial, little more than crudely assembled buildings that look more like full-size mock-ups than real architecture. Clouding herself in a quasi-intellectual mystique, she has found favor among impressionable youth, but garners little integrity or respect from serious professionals. If you like flash, go ahead, spend your money. But look elsewhere for decent architectural study. Hadid is more about gimmick than anything else
