Zaha Hadid's website just received an extreme makeover. A much needed one at that! Her previous website was a commonly-used reference in the "architects have horrible websites" argument. This new one appears to be a huge improvement based on the few minutes I've surfed around.

I totally don't agree with NOW that the Bachman Newsweek cover is sexist. But I do, somewhat, think the title of this post is sexist. Though I get where you were going, and it *is* funny.
Speaking of crappy architect websites, SmithGroups' is awful. All MBA-appealing corporate jingo bulltext plus dozens of clicks to actually find a picture of a project.
Title amended.
Aw, no, Archinect, that wasn't necessary! I was just commenting, not directing/requesting!
Hey Donna, I agree that it came across a little sexist, which wasn't my intention, so the decision to amend the title was just reinforced by your comment.
The website still sucks. Why do architects feel the ALWAYS have to reinvent the wheel when it comes to how people interact with their site? I mean, floating boxes you have to move to see the picture? Give me a break. Its not like they're ever the Corbu of the internet or something.
I love it. Zaha is all about breaking the mold of what people think Architecture should be; this website is just an extension of that philosophy.
