"I can't recall an article about or interview with Zaha Hadid in which she is not described as a diva...

The memory of this dismissal makes the breadth of her current portfolio extremely surprising... With the recent successful opening of Cincinatti's Museum of Modern Art and a slew of large-scale schemes under construction in the US and continental Europe, the turnaround has been rapid."
