Competition: win a book celebrating the life and work of Zaha Hadid
For our latest competition, Dezeen is offering the chance to win a book dedicated to Zaha Hadid, whose untimely death in 2016 shook the architecture community and whose list of projects continues to grow under her eponymous firm.
Zaha Hadid Architects: Redefining Architecture & Design delves into the designs of Hadid, "whose creative genius captured the collective imagination, influencing designers to challenge the perceived limits of aesthetics and engineering," said a statement from publisher The Images Publishing Group.

It is the first book to be published about the architect since her death. Although well into production beforehand, the publication has since been edited to include a detailed tome in her memory.

The book's 248 pages feature dozens of colour photographs of the British-Iraqi architect's designs, ranging from national museums and sports complexes to residential towers and commercial spaces.
All of the projects featured in the book are "urban manifestos of Zaha Hadid's quest for complex, fluid spaces", said the publisher's statement.
