I'm so excited for my first major project!
She's the one who built the Rosenthal Center for contemporary art in Cincinnati.
And also the Phaeno Science Center in Wolfsburg, Germany.
Zaha continues to build many great works and became more successful.
Even the bridge pavillon of in Zaragoza, Spain.
as well as the broad art museum at Michigan State University.
Not to mention the Wangjing Soho, an office and retail space on the outskirts of Beijing.
And because of her daring structures, she became so famous and gained international recognition.
