Architect Zaha Hadid is dead

I just read that Zaha is no more. Well: she will ever be more because that was who she was/is. Enough was never a word attached to her work ethic. I often joked (well it was no joke) that I would love a Zaha bungalow at the bottom of my garden. A little out of my price range, alas. As should be any great talent who has fought so hard and become a name on the world stage of their craft. Sorry to 'float' a conspiracy theory but she did die of a 'normal' heart attack in Miami didn't she? I can well imagine that for some many people a long long respite in the netherworld would make them....
sorry for that- but you know why I wrote it. (Anyone ever seen The Parallax View- great movie [and of course a total work of fiction,,,,,////,,,,,,,/,,......)......./.....)

I used to be an architecture 'cat' roaming the 'buzz' of the Architectural Association in London. I know the 90s buzz became a bit of a 'purr' in the new millennium but Zaha Hadid's ghost forever roamed the windmills and corridors of those students' minds. And will mine as well...

we are talking architecture NSA- not something any of you know anything about. (Well- one or 2 of you know structural engineering- but you pale into insignificance compared to Zaha's intel...) - well she's gone now. Good night and good luck. 

Both Sides Now (originally was linking to Shadows and Light but there's something quite 'personal' about the former song that is probably somehow in a very unusual way more apt for Dame Zaha Hadid).
