Architect Dame Zaha Hadid, whose designs include the London Olympic Aquatic Centre, has died aged 65.
Iraqi-born, this year she was the first woman to receive the Royal Institute of British Architects (Riba) Gold Medal in recognition of her work.

She died following a heart attack on Thursday in a Miami hospital, where she was being treated for bronchitis.

Her designs have been commissioned around the world, including Hong Kong, Germany and Azerbaijan.

RIP! she was one of my favorites after Frank Gehry. This is my favorite of her designs - the Opus Building

I will say though, that there is a gap in creativity between her designs and actual buildings. The ones that were built end up less interesting than designs. But even so, her work is fantastic.
