Hadid is famous by pushing boundaries and defying rules of conceiving space, design, and
architectural convention. Hadid is a good observer of art, nature, and architecture and the
effective surrounding aspects. Her eagerness to search for the sources of their aesthetics and key
factors of attracting people to them qualified her to develop her own techniques. By using such
techniques, she design unprecedented set of works characterized by uniques and creativity.

Hadid’s self-developed techniques qualified her to produce extraordinary works due to being
a mixture of liberation and logic; rational and irrational; strangeness and harmony. The roots
of these techniques have been learnt from different domains, cultures, and countries and this
interprets the familiarity of her architecture at the global level
