为了祝贺扎哈·哈迪德，她将获得2016年皇家金奖。

作为第一位获得这一荣誉的女性，该奖项由英国皇家建筑师学会颁发，并由女王陛下亲自批准。自1848年以来，获奖者包括弗兰克·盖里(2000年)、诺曼·福斯特(1983年)、弗兰克·劳埃德·赖特(1941年)和乔治·吉尔伯特·斯科特爵士(1859年)。

2004年获得皇家金奖(Royal Gold Medal)和评选委员会成员的彼得·库克爵士(Sir Peter Cook)解释说，和她的前任一样，哈迪德分享了“对她周围所有人都有着不可估量、与众不同和无情的影响的宝贵作用，这让她的结果与常规不同”

说哈迪德的作品“出类拔萃”最坏的情况下是史诗般的轻描淡写，而最糟糕的情况是严重的误解。流动性、生物、前卫、打破模式、未来主义、大胆和昂贵都是在描述她的作品时非常有意义的术语。从瑞士阿尔卑斯山到阿联酋，“扎哈”品牌建造了令人印象深刻的建筑，获得了众多荣誉和奖章，两次获得RIBA Stirling奖-分别是罗马的MAXXI博物馆和布里克斯顿的伊夫林·格雷斯学院(Evelyn Grace Academy School)-她是十多年前第一位获得普利兹克奖的女性。

哈迪德喜欢类似格子的形状，复杂的曲线和无缝的结构形状，似乎是在一个科学实验室光年之外开发出来的。事实上，她的导师雷姆·库哈斯(RemKoolhaas)曾形容她为“一颗在她自己独一无二的轨道上的行星”。她的个性和性格无疑与她的建筑的复杂性相匹配，但也许正是这种反抗使她变得如此伟大。

彼得·库克教授说：“让我们面对现实吧，我们本可以把这枚奖牌授予一个有价值、舒适的角色。”我们没有，我们把它颁给了Zaha：比生命更大，大胆得像黄铜一样，当然在这个案子上也是如此。我们的女主角。我们在伦敦有她是多么幸运啊。“

Like her predecessors, Hadid shares ‘the precious role of towering, distinctive and relentless influence upon all around her that sets the results apart from the norm’, explains Professor Sir Peter Cook, 2004 recipient of the Royal Gold Medal.

To say Hadid’s work ‘stands out’ is an epic understatement at worst and gross misconception at best. Pictured: Maxxi Museum Of XXI Century Art Rome. Photography: Iwan Baan

She has a penchant for lattice-like forms, complex curves and seamless structural shapes that seem to have been developed in a scientific laboratory light years away. Pictured: BMW Central Building, Leipzig, Germany. Photography: Helene Binet

Her personality and character without a doubt match the complexity of her buildings, but perhaps it is that defiance which has led her to such greatness. Pictured: BMW Central Building, Leipzig, Germany. Photography: Helene Binet

‘Let’s face it, we might have awarded the medal to a worthy, comfortable character,’ says Professor Sir Peter Cook. ‘We didn’t, we awarded it to Zaha: larger than life, bold as brass and certainly on the case. Our heroine. How lucky we are to have her in London.’ Pictured: Contemporary Arts Center, Cincinnati. Photography: Roland Halbe
