Zaha at the AA

When Zaha Hadid moved to London to begin her architectural education at the Architectural Association School of Architecture (AA) in London in 1972, the school was already in the throes of transformation under the new directorship of Alvin Boyarsky, who had begun shifting its focus to a more international view. It was at this time that Hadid encountered some of her most influential teachers, including Rem Koolhaas and Elia Zenghelis, who in 1975 with Zoe Zenghelis and Madelon Vriesendorp, went on to form the Office for Metropolitan Architecture (OMA) at which Zaha would become a partner. Known for its unconventional curriculum, the AA embraced new ideas and innovation, giving Hadid ample opportunity to explore and develop her own architectural language and ideas. In 1977 she won the AA Diploma prize and would go on to teach her own studio there until 1987. I (sf)
