{"product_id":"zaha-hadids-paintings-desley-luscombe-9781848226845","title":"Zaha Hadid's Paintings: Imagining Architecture","description":"Zaha Hadid is widely regarded as a visionary and influential architect, who became globally acclaimed by the time of her untimely death in 2016. This book is the first to focus on how painting was fundamental to her practice. During the first 20 years of her career, she earned her reputation through ' paper architecture' projects which were widely published in architecture journals and exhibited, but which remained largely unbuilt. Influenced by the Suprematists, she used her paintings as design tools and abstraction as an investigative structure for imagining architecture. Drawing extensively on interviews with Hadid's contemporaries and her team of assistants and her past presentations and in-depth interviews, this book is the first to focus on the important aspect of Hadid's work. It examines selected paintings in detail, both critically assessing them in the wider context of C20th fine art - in relation to the Suprematists, de Stijl, Cubism and Futurism - and offering insights into how Hadid used the paintings to develop architectural and spatial ideas, which she would later realise in her buildings.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Desley Luscombe\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1848226845\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781848226845\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Lund Humphries Publishers Ltd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/16\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Desley Luscombe","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44890638680319,"sku":"9781848226845","price":99.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3f243aaa-0b7d-49fc-829b-86f9e04c3a1b.jpg?v=1709739599","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/zaha-hadids-paintings-desley-luscombe-9781848226845","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
