Geocache Description:


>> Click for English listing <<

 

Narodila sa v krajine, kde ženy nesmeli voliť ani šoférovať.

Budova Opus, Dubaj

 

Študovala ako "farebný" imigrant v západnom svete odbor, ktorému tradične dominujú muži.

Morpheus Hotel, Macau

 

Z outsidera sa vypracovala na svetovú špičku. Ako prvá žena v histórii získala najvyššie svetové ocenenie za architektúru (Pritzkerovu cenu) a toľko ďalších cien, že by ich tento listing nezniesol.

Most Zaragoza, Španielsko

 

Anglická kráľovná jej udelila šľachtický titul "Dame". Prednášla na Harvarde, Cambridge a ďalších svetových univerzitách.

Olympijské Aquatics centre, Londýn

 

V jej stavbách niet pravých uhlov. Kritici ich často označovali ako "raketoplány", "mimozemské základne"...

Wangjing Soho

 

...prípade "príliš organické a ženské". Bola prezývaná "Queen of the Curve" - kráľovná krivky.

Al Janoub Stadium, Quatar

 

Jej návrhy boli niekedy ťažko realizovateľné a mimoriadne nákladné.

Rublyovo-Arkhangelskoye

 

Nevôľa sa na ňu zniesla aj kvôli práci pre nedemokratické režimy.

Heydar Aliyev Centre, Azerbajdžan

 

Nečakane umrela na zápal priedušiek v roku 2016 ako 65-ročná. Hoci jej kariéra trvala iba 20 rokov, stihla zanechať po celom svete ikonické stavby a stať sa najvýznamnejšou architektkou súčasnej architektúry.

Zaha Hadid

 

 

Viaceré jej stavby, vrátane "nášho" Sky Parku sa dokončujú až posmrtne.

Obzri sa pri odlove kešky okolo seba a skús precítiť, že nám tu nechala kúsok zo svojho umu skutočná Wonder Woman.

 

 

~ English listing ~

She was born in a country, where women had no right to drive nor vote.
 
She studied in the western world being a "colored immigrant" - a field traditionally dominated by men.
 

From an outsider, she became a top tier architect. As the first woman in history, she was awarded the most prestigious architecture award (Pritzker prize) and many more.

She was presented with the title "Dame" by Queen Elisabeth II. She gave lectures at Harvard, Cambridge and other world-class universities.

Her buildings lack right angles. Often described as "space shuttles", "alien bases", or "too organic and feminine". She was nicknamed the "Queen of the Curve".

Her concepts were often difficult to construct and overpriced.

She was also criticized for working for authoritarian regimes.

She died unexpectedly in 2016 aged 65. Despite being active for mere 20 years, she managed to leave behind numerous iconic buildings all over the world and become the greatest female architect in contemporary architecture.

 

Zaha Hadid

 

Some of her projects, including Bratislava's Sky Park are being finished posthumously.

When logging this cache, take a look around and try to appreciate, that a real-life Wonder Woman left a piece of her great mind in our little big city.
