What was the name of Zaha Hadid's architecture firm?

Zaha Hadid’s architecture firm was named Zaha Hadid Architects.

Hadid established her London-based practice in 1980 after working at the Office for Metropolitan Architecture with former teachers Rem Koolhaas and Elia Zenghelis. The firm became the principal vehicle for developing her distinctive architecture, first through paintings and competition proposals and later through major buildings around the world.

Zaha Hadid Architects became associated with sweeping curves, sharp geometries, fluid interiors, and computer-aided design. Major projects include the Vitra Fire Station in Germany, the MAXXI museum in Rome, the London Aquatics Centre, and the Heydar Aliyev Center in Azerbaijan. The practice also worked across furniture, interiors, exhibitions, and urban planning.

The name is sometimes confused with Zaha Hadid Design, a separate design studio Hadid founded in 2006. “Hadid Associates,” “Zaha Design Group,” and “Hadid Design Studio” are not the canonical names of her architecture practice. After Hadid died in 2016, architect Patrik Schumacher became the firm’s principal figure, while the practice continued operating under the Zaha Hadid Architects name.
