“Naming a street after Zaha Hadid today recognises the value of her work and the impact she has left on Milan,” said councillor for culture Tommaso Sacchi at the unveiling of a street sign.<\/p>\n

“Ten years after her passing, her contribution remains evident not only in her completed works, but also in the way she influenced contemporary architectural design,” Sacchi continued. “Her approach helped redefine the relationship between urban space and people, focusing on the quality of environments and their function in everyday life.”<\/p>\n

Zaha Hadid, who was one of the world’s best-known architects and still the only sole female winner of the Pritzker Architecture Prize, died from a heart attack on March 31 2016.<\/p>\n

The street named in her honour was unveiled 10 years after her death at a ceremony attended by Zaha Hadid Foundation director Aric Chen<\/a>, engineer Hanif Kara<\/a> and long-time Zaha Hadid collaborator Davide Giordano, who read a statement on behalf of Zaha Hadid’s nieces Rana Hadid and Tala Hadid and her nephew Hussein Hadid.<\/p>\n
