This post Traces Zaha Hadid’s “Conscious inspiration” design Methodology, that eventually engenders a unique and winning design such as the Riverside Museum in Glasgow Scotland.
Zaha Hadid’s planning process Shown in this post is based on my own understanding (for you to judge)…. my Intention is to introduce Zaha Hadid’s strategy implementing the “conscious inspiration method”
Zaha Hadid’s starts her design process by connecting to Accessible information sources “she is informed about everything that was designed in the past and on a daily basis”

Who knows…. maybe this recognized building in Dundee shown in the following picture, is the inspiration source for Gehry’s Maggie’s Centre .

“Conscious Inspiration” the ultimate inspiration methodology
“Knowledge”: as many said, and wrote before – Knowledge is the foundation for all designing process. We architects and designers are obliged to be informed about everything that was designed in the past and on a daily basis….
“Tools”: develop tools to analyze buildings and “Understand” them, tools that will cope with the abundance of architectural information…
“Invention”: with the methodology of “conscious Inspiration” , we don’t need to be intimidated to get inspired from relevant buildings. Once we develop our tools, it will lead us to high quality and creative architecture
