The architect that I will focus on is Iraqi Architect Zaha Hadid. Hadid was born in Baghdad, Iraq in October of 1950. Some of her greatest works are the MAXXI- national museum in Rome, and also the London Aquatics Center in London that was built for the 2012 Summer Olympics. Both of these buildings have futuristic looks with curved roofs, and large window panes along the side of the building to really give it a unique modern looking style. Hadid has had her hand in some of Europes most interesting looking buildings, and is one of the most influential architects of the 21st century.
