This review is from: Zaha Hadid: Complete Works (Hardcover)

It is catalog of her work with a brief description and few photos by project: about a page each. There are not many technical drawings so you only have some idea of what the design is about. Her work is impressive so it was good to see again some of the 90's designs. I feel it is a good purchase but I miss the technical info.
