Tess And what do you want to talk about Steve Music Steve No. Im going to talk about Zaha Hadid. Tess Ah, interesting. Ravi Shes an architect isnt she Steve Yeah, thats right. A really cool architect. Her buildings are fantastic. Do you know much about her Ravi No not really. But I know the name. Is she British Steve She was born in Iraq, in Baghdad, but shes lived in London for a long time. Im not sure if shes got British nationality. She was the first woman ever to win the Pritzer Prize in 2. Thats the biggest prize in architecture, like the Nobel Prize. And its pretty amazing for a woman to win it. Architecture is still a mans world really. Tess Yeah, I bet. Steve She says that she wanted to be an architect when her father took her to Sumer, in the south of Iraq, when she was a kid. And of course, Sumer was where the first cities were ever built, thousands of years ago the oldest architecture in the world. Ravi You studied Maths and now youre a DJ. Whats the interest in architecture Steve Well Im not really into all architecture. But theres something about Zaha Hadid that I love. Shes a very, well, intellectual architect. She studied Maths too shes got a Maths degree, and her buildings are so complicated. Im really interested in technology, and nowadays well, you can draw something crazy on a piece of paper and now weve got the technology to actually build it. Anythings possible. You should look at her design for the Dancing Towers. Tess Dancing Towers Great name. Steve Yeah, its gonna be built in Dubai or anyway, I hope its gonna be built in Dubai. Watch Kiss Me Deadly Putlocker# here. Its a really crazy building. Its really organic you know, it looks like a plant or something. And I think my favourite is the one shes doing in Abu Dhabi the Performing Arts Centre. Its gonna be beautiful. Its all round shapes just like nature. Really beautiful. Tess She must be a busy woman Steve Well, a few years ago people said that her buildings were just not practical they were too complicated and expensive to build. But now as I said, anythings possible. Shes got buildings and projects all over the world, North America, Asia, Europe, you name it. Yeah, her designs are expensive to build, but she does other things too. Tess Like what Steve She designs all sorts of things  furniture, things for the home, handbags, shoes. Tess Id like to see a pair of Zaha Hadid shoes. Steve Theyre fantastic. Theyre made of plastic, so theyre soft they kind of move to the shape of your foot, and of course they can be recycled. And her stuff isnt too expensive either. Ravi How old is she Steve You shouldnt ask a womans age Ravi. But seriously, Im not sure. In her fifties Tess Well thanks for that Steve. We really must get some pictures of her buildings up on the website especially the ones that you talked about. I want to see the Dancing Towers. Ravi And the shoes. I want to see the shoes.
