Zaha Hadid blasts return to traditional architecture

摘要

Zaha Hadid has said many of London's new developments are too conservative, in a lecture to mark her award of the RIB A's 2016 Royal Gold Medal, writes Tim Clark. Delivering the Royal Gold Medal lecture last week, Hadid spoke of her worry regarding a move towards traditional design among London's developments. Hadid said: "I have always believed in progress and in creativity's role in progress. That's why I remain critical of any traditionalism. I worry about the dominance of neo-rationalism in London's current transformation."
