Super-yacht Of The Future Built By A Lady by 9jaflave: 9:06pm On Oct 16, 2013

This is the first yacht designed by award-winning architect Dame Zaha Hadid, the brains behind the iconic Aquatics Centre built in London for last summer's Olympics.
The Iraqi-born British-based architect designed a family of the futuristic superyachts for German shipbuilders Blohm+Voss.

The upper mesh structure - which has been compared to a skeleton - of the stunning design connects the different decks of the 90m vessels. Dwarfing the 5 'smaller' yachts is a design for a 128m 'mothership'.

The 2004 Pritzer Architecture Prize winner has previously won worldwide acclaim for some of her iconic buildings. She famously designed the Aquatic Centre for the London 2012 Olympic Games and the futuristic Riverside Museum in Glasgow.

Among some of her other more famous works are the Roca London Gallery, the BMW Central Building in Leipzig, Germany, and the MAXXI National Museum of 21st Century Arts in Rome.

As well as the Pritzer Prize, Ms Hadid has won the Sterling Prize twice in 2010 and 2011 for the MAXXI building and the Evelyn Grace Academy in Brixton, London.

Her involvement in Olympic architecture doesn't end with the London Games. Hadid has been commissioned to draw up plans for the revamped National Olympic Stadium in Tokyo, which hosted the 1964 summer Games and will host them again in 2020.

She was also made a Dame in 2012 for services to architecture having already been awarded a CBE 10 years earlier.

As well as buildings and boats, Dame Zaha recently designed a fancy bottle for a limited edition wine produced by Leo Hillinger. Her forays into design have also seen her help create vases, cars, and jewellery.
Dame Zaha has previously designed a limited-edition speedboat for American art dealer Kenny Schachter.
