Zaha Hadid Says Her Stadium Design Does Not Look Like a Giant Vagina
Nov 26, 2013 20:32
Critics have said that this Al Wakrah Stadium—designed with AECOM for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar—looks like a giant vagina. Obviously, the building's architect, Zaha Hadid disagrees. "It's really embarrassing that they come up with nonsense like this," she told TIME. "What are they saying? Everything with a hole in it is a vagina? That's ridiculous."
Hadid thinks that critics wouldn't have drawn vulva comparisons if a male architect designed the building, but we're going to disagree. The stadium looks like what it looks like, but if it's an awesome stadium with awesome facilities then so be it.
