While the world said goodbye to celebrated Iraqi-born, British architect Zaha Hadid in March after a shocking and unexpected death, the conversation around her enormous influence on the architectural community globally and locally continues.
On May 7, 2016 from 1:00–3:30pm, you can join the conversation as the Contemporary Arts Center (CAC), American Institute of Architects (AIA) Equity in Architecture, and University of Cincinnati’s Design, Architecture, Art, and Planning college (DAAP) host a celebration of Zaha Hadid’s life and work at the place where the architect’s career took off—the CAC’s own home in the Lois and Richard Rosenthal Center for Contemporary Art.
The May 7th program will include prominent speakers who knew Ms. Hadid and worked with her on the Contemporary Arts Center or other global projects: Robert Benson, Mark Stedtefeld, Christoph Klemmt, Patricia Kucker and Richard Rosenthal. They will focus on Hadid’s work and background, the CAC design and construction process, and her influence to architects worldwide as a woman that broke through barriers and challenged perceptions.
