    Zaha Hadid Architects-London

    https://www.instagram.com/zahahadidarchitects/

    Zaha Hadid, an Iraqi-British architect, is known for her extremely futuristic architecture, which has bending façades, sharp angles, and harsh materials like concrete and steel. Her constructions successfully accomplished what so many people find so perplexing about great architecture: she took the world's strongest materials and manipulated them to create objects that appear both soft and sturdy at the same time.

    Her work has been recognized with numerous awards over the previous two decades. When Hadid, 65, died abruptly in a Miami hospital in 2016, the world lost a true visionary.

    Today her firm, Zaha Hadid Architects has done more than 950 projects in 44 countries and considered as one of the best in architecture worldwide. 

    Of course there are many more successful and prominent Arab architecture firms  that aren't mentioned in this blog. Firms that are brilliant with wood design (wood tables) or with lighting systems (floor lamp) or even with electric stuff such as electric grill. To conclude, Arabs are currently on the top among the best nations in architecture worldwide.
