    A big congrats to her on her achievements. however, It bafflingly how Architects are soley glorified with no acknowledgement given to the Structural Engineers that made this edifices stand, talk more of standing the test of time

    I noticed the people are with natural talent always have short temper.
    They have clear vision of their work. But it’s hard to explain others who has Lower or different understanding.
    Specially art is a hard way to proof your talent.
    Every one can’t think like you, so you get criticise a lot and some time tagged with un skill full or arrogant for noting.

    It's important to remember her designs are breathtaking and extremely difficult to construct. She was doing small buildings, a lot of her designs were on paper until she was given opportunities by Soho China owned by Zheng Xin and Pan Shiyi. From there she had workloads in total of over 1.5 million square metres of buildings design floor area in Beijing and Shanghai. She gradually took off, making her architecture firm an icon, from a design team of 5 initially to now over 400.

    The first building may be the only one to be saved but all the others are the ugly results of star architecture system that doesn't compromise with any lochal history and aesthetics. In my opion and being fan of MODERN architecture her work is quite empty shallow and only made for wow effects therefore predictably boring. Although her studio/group of architects seems promising. At the end her only positive note is that she wasn't responsible for the new london skyline one of the worst I ever seen since obviously all China's.

    Wish, Saddam Hussein could concentrate on nurturing the talents of Iraqis instead of bulldozing talents and inviting the outsiders to invade in that beautiful country of Iraq! Iraq could become the new modern Babylon if it could avoid the hatreds and war in their good economic periods

    My lecturers in the architecture school used to say how unnecessary her architecture was. I came to realization over the years that 1- she is a true artist 2 – she was good at marketing – simple. I think if we have strong convictions (how we think the world should be) + the willpower to persist in face of difficulties we all probably can be some type of Zaha manifestation, not like her but unique in our own ways. I think Zaha is great inspiration not because of her architecture but because of the way she went about pursuing what she loved.

Iran and US announce peace deal – Trump lifts blockade of strait of Hormuz | BBC News

Published

on



Iran and the US have confirmed they have agreed a peace deal. US President Donald Trump has said the strait of Hormuz will be reopened and has ordered a lifting of the US naval blockade on Iranian ports. The deal is expected to be signed in Switzerland on Friday.

Donald Trump wrote on Truth Social: “Deal with the Islamic Republic of Iran is now complete… I hereby fully authorize the toll free opening of the Strait of Hormuz, and, simultaneously herewith, authorize the immediate removal of the United States Naval blockade,” he says. “Ships of the World, start your engines. Let the oil flow!”

Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi confirmed on state TV that a deal with the US has been finalised and the official signing will take place in Switzerland on Friday. “An immediate and permanent end to the war and military operations on different fronts including Lebanon will be announced tonight,” he said, stating that the US naval blockade against Iran would be lifted immediately.

Pakistan first announced that the US and Iran have reached peace deal to end military operations. Pakistan has played a key role as an intermediary between the two sides in peace talks.

Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said that both sides had declared the immediate and permanent termination of military operations on all fronts, including in Lebanon.

However the Israeli military operations has been continuing against Hezbollah militia in Lebanon. Iran has said that an end to that offensive is a condition for any deal, raising question about the sustainability of the agreement.

Details of what the agreement says regarding other key issues in dispute are not yet clear. One such issues is future control of the strait of Hormuz, the key shipping lane through which around a fifth of the world’s oil and natural gas passes. Another contentious issue is the future of Iran’s nuclear programme, including the enrichment of uranium. Iran has insisted that the programme will continue, while the US had demanded that it is completely abandoned.
