Renowned Iraqi-British architect, Dame Zaha Mohammad Hadid has passed on aged 65.
She contracted bronchitis earlier this week and died of a sudden heart attack in the early morning {Thursday, March 31, 2016} during treatment at a Miami hospital, Zaha Hadid Architects, an international architecture and design firm she established in London in the late 1970s reportedly confirms in a statement.

She won the Riba Stirling Prize at UK’s most respected architecture award in 2010 for the Maxxi Museum in Rome and 2011 for the Evelyn Grace Academy in Brixton, London.

May her soul rest in peace.
