At first the author of this article Jonathan Meades takes notice of Zaha’s office, he mentions ‘there is little sound other then the click of keyboards and the low murmur of from earphones’ sound a little like my office when the bosses are away, this sort of etiquette is quite normal in offices, while live streaming you can listen to your favorites while clicking the mouse like a monkey….I mean like an architectural assistant, but what I have learnt about this office tool the earphones is that it can work to your advantage, at the moment you are at the peak of high deadlines I use them as a deterrence to other to not disturb my intense staring at the screen and click of the mouse, but also I use it as a way do not get distracted by the other goings on around me, I almost feel sorry for the employees of Zaha’s office, I’m sure that they are getting the best experience in life but I also know some who want to run a mile.
It can be said that the computer is a tool and in Zaha’s case she describes the relationship between the computer an fabrication as ‘exciting’, as a strong believer in the digital world we have developed our minds into a tool as well for processing, it can sometimes be a matter of draw the line and it is done, but there are times when you have to process as much as a computer has to.
The language of the architects, oh what a mystery, when Meads says that Zaha cannot describe the style of her designs, does it mean that if its indefinable the theory of her work can never be learnt, that’s a shame, Zaha’s legacy should live on in the future.
