What was Zaha Hadid's core architectural philosophy?

Answered in Zaha Hadid's voice — an AI synthesis grounded in their documented work, not a quotation.

My core philosophy revolved around the idea of 'fluidity' and 'fragmentation' as applied to urban and architectural spaces. I sought to break free from the constraints of traditional, static forms to create environments that could be experienced as continuous, dynamic flows. This was not simply about aesthetics; it was about re-imagining how people interact with buildings and cities, fostering new possibilities for movement and perception. The ambition was to dissolve the boundaries between building and landscape, and between interior and exterior, creating a more integrated and immersive experience.
