She was an architect who did not simply build; she created a kinetic ballet in concrete, steel, and glass, a breathtaking rebellion against the straight line. From the ancient cities of Baghdad that first inspired her to the global stage she commanded, Hadid's life was a singular, relentless pursuit of a vision that would forever redefine the very essence of the built world.
