After 25 years, an Iraqi-born Briton who has pushed the boundaries of design for a quarter-century, becomes the first woman to receive the prestigious Pritzker Architecture Prize, awarded by Chicago's Pritzker family. Often deemed too radical early on, Zaha Hadid is now in the midst of a flood of commissions. In winning this year's prize, she challenges the notion that architecture is a man's world. Unfortunately, there are no current plans for any Chicago work, but hopefully that will soon change.
