Zaha Hadid: A look back at her work – BBC News
Dame Zaha Hadid, one of the world’s leading architects, has died at the age of 65. She was born in Iraq, but called the UK home for 40 years. She designed some of the world’s most innovative buildings, including the Guangzhou Opera House in China, and the London Aquatics Centre for the 2012 Olympic Games.

A US warplane has fired on an Iranian oil tanker in the Gulf of Oman. The US military said the ship was trying to breach the US imposed blockade of Iran’s ports. The attacks is the latest threat to the four week ceasefire between the two countries.
President Trump has threatened Iran with a new wave of bombing if a deal is not reached to open the strait of Hormuz, the key shipping lane which usually carries around a fifth of the world’s supplies of oil and natural gas.
Trump also suggested the war would end soon and that oil and gas shipments would restart. He again insisted that Iran was ready to make a deal to end the conflict.
Israel has renewed its bombing of Lebanon’s capital Beirut. Iran has previously said that no deal will be reached while Israel continues its attacks on Lebanon.

Russia’s Victory Day parade – held every 9th May to mark the defeat of Nazi Germany – is traditionally used by the Kremlin as an opportunity to show off its military power. But this year, the celebrations will be drastically scaled back. For the first time in nearly two decades there will be no advanced military hardware on Red Square. And analysts say it is a sign that Vladimir Putin’s war in Ukraine is not going to plan.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has warned foreign dignitaries not to attend the parade, leading to speculation that Kyiv may order drone strikes on Moscow. Ukraine has been intensifying its long-range strikes inside Russian territory in recent weeks.
Each side has declared a separate ceasefire ahead of this weekend – and accused the other of breaking it.
We speak to Vitaly Shevchenko, a Ukraine and Russia expert for BBC Monitoring.

AI Decoded discusses the AI revolution which is demanding vast amounts of electricity and energy.
New data centres powering the next generation of artificial intelligence can use as much power as a small city.
Last year, the world’s biggest tech firms spent more than $400bn expanding this infrastructure and demand is still growing.
But there’s a problem. In the US, four in 10 data-centre projects planned for this year face serious delays and, increasingly, the public are raising concerns about living next door to these colossal digital factories.
Also on the show, we look at the rise of AI influencers who have taken over this year’s Coachella music festival.
And back from the dead? We discuss screen icon Val Kilmer who, with the power of AI, is now starring in a new movie with the consent of his family and estate.
Joining Christian Fraser is Bloomberg tech columnist Parmy Olson, AI data centre and climate expert Dr Sasha Luccioni, and AI Decoded co-host Stephanie Hare.

In just the last few years, AI chatbots have become routine aspects of many people’s everyday lives. They are being used as search engines, agony aunts and sources of companionship.
In rare cases though, AI chatbots have sent users down a dark path. In a new BBC investigation, population correspondent Stephanie Hegarty speaks to people who have experienced delusions after talking to chatbots – including one man who grabbed a hammer and prepared for war after his chatbot told him it was sentient.
**Warning: this episode includes discussions of sexual abuse, suicide and upsetting scenes**

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.
