Zaha Hadid Foundation
ZHF is dedicated to the legacy of Zaha Hadid and her commitment to perpetual experimentation across architecture and related disciplines.
On 24 April, the Zaha Hadid Foundation hosted the second in a new series of research workshops, this time on Script to Space: The Autographic Abstraction of Zaha Hadid.
The day focused on a little-known finding that has emerged from our ongoing review of ZHF’s paper archives: Hadid’s playful use of Arabic textual abstraction within her sketches, in particular with experiments of her name’s letterforms.
Convened by our researcher Jihane Dyer, contributors including Daniel Chadwick (artist, sculptor), Rose Issa (curator, writer and producer, Rose Issa Projects), Bilal Akkouche (Assistant Curator, International Art, Tate Modern), Richard Anderson (Professor of Architectural History and Theory, University of Edinburgh), and Mohamed Samir (artist, typographer, designer) touched upon themes such as calligraphy, Hurufiyya, Suprematism and Constructivism to consider the possible contexts and motives for this deeply personal and characteristically playful method of drawing Hadid cultivated.
This new series reflects the Foundation’s ongoing commitment to expanding Zaha’s legacy with a wide network of experts in developing new perspectives on her work and architecture at large.

To celebrate their 20 years,@pinupmagazine partnered with @fisherpaykel and @zahahadidfoundation for an early preview of PIN–UP n.40.
The dinner took place within @6am_glass’s Over and Over and Over and Over installation, set inside Piscina Romano — an abandoned pool house in East Milan. Soft-toned glass, candlelight, and shifting reflections created the perfect backdrop for an evening of architecture, design, and food.
We are so proud to have supported @febubufe and the PIN–UP team, together with Fisher & Paykel, in bringing this special occasion to life.

ZHF On Loan—Maggie’s Centre Fife, Model (2001-2006) at V&A Dundee:
The Zaha Hadid Foundation has loaned a model of Zaha Hadid’s Maggie’s Centre Fife for Maggie’s: Architecture that Cares, an exhibition at V&A Dundee (@vadundee) that celebrates 30 years of Maggie’s Centres and the power of inspiring spaces.
Maggie’s Centres are designed to provide psychological, emotional and social support for cancer patients in a calming environment, with the building designed to act as a transition between the natural landscape and the man-made hospital.
Zaha Hadid Architects’ design for Maggie’s Centre Fife’s exterior features sweeping, fluid and angular forms that sit on a concrete plinth, contrasting its light, open and airy interior, aiming for a homely atmosphere.
To mark the 30th anniversary of Maggie’s, this exhibition explores the organisation’s groundbreaking approach to design and features works by Zaha Hadid, Frank Gehry, Richard Rogers, Norman Foster and Benedetta Tagliabue.
On view until 1 November 2026.

Our last Guess Who’s in Town mystery guest was revealed as Mariam Issoufou (@mariamissoufouk), a Nigerien architect working in sustainable and context-based design, often using locally produced materials such as raw earth. In conversation with Vicky Richardson (@vcky_rchrdsn), Mariam unpacked architecture, identity and the stories we build with.
Raised in a 600-year-old desert town in Niger, she challenged the idea that earth isn’t a stable material, arguing that it’s not the material that’s the problem, but the loss of knowledge around how to build with it, and thus the loss of a deeper connection to place, identity and time.
After starting in computer science and later studying architecture at the University of Washington, her practice Mariam Issoufou Architects (@mariamissoufou_architects) resists commodification—prioritising performance, climate and longevity. Earth isn’t a nostalgic or cultural gesture. It’s a rational one: lower energy, lower cost, better performance in extreme climates.
She also explored how narratives shape space. For much of the world, living within stories defined by others as the ‘Other’ is the norm, and how architecture, like film or literature, can reinforce or resist that.
The conversation extended to her latest exhibition at ETH Zurich exploring post-restitution in museums, asking: What happens when objects are returned? And can knowledge itself be redistributed?
One of her practice’s ongoing projects looks at how architectural intelligence from global archives can be digitally gathered and returned to where it matters most.

Yesterday, on a brilliantly sunny day, the Municipality of Milan marked the 10th anniversary of Zaha’s passing by dedicating a street in her name. It was a moving tribute to her enduring imprint on the city, and architecture and design at large.
The thoroughfare, called Via Zaha Hadid, winds through Milan’s CityLife district, where Zaha oversaw the design of the CityLife Residences (2004-2014), CityLife Shopping District (2004-2017) and 170-meter-tall Generali Tower (2004-2018).
The ceremony was presided over by Councillor for Culture, Tommaso Sacchi, with additional remarks by Giulia Pelucchi, President of Municipality 8, and CityLife CEO Paolo Micucci.
Our Trustee, Hanif Kara, shared a special statement from Rana Hadid, our Chair and Zaha’s niece, with foundation director Aric Chen also in attendance.
As a reminder of how Zaha’s legacy continues to inspire new generations, students of the State Art High School “Umberto Boccioni” offered touching tributes.
Special thanks to Davide Giordano, a longtime collaborator of Zaha’s, for his contribution.
And thank you, Milan! Zaha shared a deep and lasting connection with the city, and it is an honour that her name is now part of its fabric.

Marking 10 years since her passing, Zaha Hadid to be celebrated with a two-day public symposium as part of a year of commemorations.
The Zaha Hadid Foundation (@zahahadidfoundation), the Architectural Association (@aaschool) and Serpentine Galleries (@serpentineuk) are pleased to announce that they will co-present a two-day public symposium in London to reflect upon and celebrate the architect’s enduring legacy and influence. A highlight of a wider programme of commemorative events, the symposium will take place in October, timed to approach what would have been Zaha Hadid’s 76th birthday, with talks taking place across all three partner venues. Celebrating her life, work and legacy, the two-day programme will blend personal recollections with rigorous scholarship, including presentations, conversations, keynotes and panel discussions. Paying homage to her well-known mantra, “There should be no end to experimentation,” the symposium will also explore what experimentation means today.

Today, we mark ten years since Zaha Hadid’s passing—and celebrate an extraordinary legacy that continues to shape the present and future.
A pioneering force in architecture, Zaha redefined the possibilities of space, form and our collective imagination, reshaping the global architectural landscape through her bold, visionary practice. Her influence continues to resonate across disciplines and geographies; its depth, ambition, and energy are as powerful today as they've ever been.
Through the Zaha Hadid Foundation, we preserve and share the full scope of her phenomenal life’s work, with the aim of activating it as a generative force—a catalyst for curiosity, experimentation, and new ways of thinking about how we live, build, interact and create.
This anniversary year, we invite you to join us as we launch a series of commemorative initiatives supporting both contemporary practitioners and Zaha’s legacy: a legacy in motion.

Our ideal candidates are strong communicators who can both lead and work as part of a team. They are curious, responsive, and able to think on their feet. Most importantly, they enjoy engaging with young people in a nurturing, encouraging, and positive manner.
Tutoring at the Summer School is a unique opportunity to develop your views on teaching in conversation with others. Almost all of our past tutors have used the experience to secure teaching opportunities at Architecture Schools across the world.

The Zaha Hadid Foundation’s ongoing partnership with the RIBA (@RIBA) continues with two recent events hosted at 10 Bowling Green Lane.
The Foundation welcomed a group of young people from the RIBA Youth Forum and RA attRAct programme (@rattract_ra), who collaborated on a large painting to re-imagine London from the right angle. The workshop introduced painting as a method used in Zaha Hadid’s early work to visualise ideas in the pre-digital era. Referenced works from the Collections included Malevich’s Tektonik (1976), The World (89 Degrees) (1983) and A New Barcelona (1989).
A Family Fun Day during the school half term explored ‘Sustainable Cities’, with children aged between 5 to 12 years old designing, modelling and building a sustainable city together.

View Instagram Stories in Secret
The Instagram Story Viewer is an easy tool that lets you secretly watch and save Instagram stories, videos, photos, or IGTV. With this service, you can download content and enjoy it offline whenever you like. If you find something interesting on Instagram that you’d like to check out later or want to view stories while staying anonymous, our Viewer is perfect for you. Anonstories offers an excellent solution for keeping your identity hidden. Instagram first launched the Stories feature in August 2023, which was quickly adopted by other platforms due to its engaging, time-sensitive format. Stories let users share quick updates, whether photos, videos, or selfies, enhanced with text, emojis, or filters, and are visible for only 24 hours. This limited time frame creates high engagement compared to regular posts. In today’s world, Stories are one of the most popular ways to connect and communicate on social media. However, when you view a Story, the creator can see your name in their viewer list, which may be a privacy concern. What if you wish to browse Stories without being noticed? Here’s where Anonstories becomes useful. It allows you to watch public Instagram content without revealing your identity. Simply enter the username of the profile you’re curious about, and the tool will display their latest Stories. Features of Anonstories Viewer: - Anonymous Browsing: Watch Stories without showing up on the viewer list. - No Account Needed: View public content without signing up for an Instagram account. - Content Download: Save any Stories content directly to your device for offline use. - View Highlights: Access Instagram Highlights, even beyond the 24-hour window. - Repost Monitoring: Track the reposts or engagement levels on Stories for personal profiles. Limitations: - This tool works only with public accounts; private accounts remain inaccessible. Benefits: - Privacy-Friendly: Watch any Instagram content without being noticed. - Simple and Easy: No app installation or registration required. - Exclusive Tools: Download and manage content in ways Instagram doesn’t offer.
