Alissa Walker's got a perfect post up on FastCompany right now referencing Core-fave John Seabrook's New Yorker profile of Zaha Hadid. Here's the tasty taste (from Alissa):

Well, now that we know of her love for chips--as well as her affinity for capes; it's a juicy piece!--we have to say that the salty snacks are exactly what come to mind when we see Hadid's buildings. The London Olympic Aquatic Center, being constructed for 2012, looks just like a Pringle! Is it possible then, that Hadid's work is able to achieve engineering feats previously only found in fried potato products? The New Yorker has done a fine job of examining Hadid as the lone Arab woman at the top of her field. We examine her work as it relates to a greasy, sour cream-and-onion-scented heap of Frito-Lays.
