Baghdad-born, London-based architect Zaha Hadid (1950- ) is a maestro, leading the sphere of contemporary architecture and enthralling the world.

At the Tokyo Opera City Art Gallery, the exhibition was initially inspired by the competition for the New National Stadium of Japan, and was conceptualised as a Zaha Hadid exhibition in the course of focusing on her entry and eventual selection. Various controversies have played out concerning the stadium, but there seemed to be a palpable lack of information regarding its designer. Consequently, this exhibition aims to give visitors the chance to experience the architecture of Zaha Hadid from their respective points of view --- whether they are hearing her name for the very first time or know of her since the early days --- as well as to be exposed to the ideas behind her work.
