Monday, February 9, 2004
Right now there is precisely one first-rank woman architect--the
estimable Zaha Hadid--who works on her own, not teamed with her
husband or some other guy. But hold on, Zaha--reinforcements are
coming. Lindy Roy, 40, is already the most famous woman architect
who has just one completed project to her name: the new Manhattan
showroom of the Swiss furniture company Vitra, which has become a
showcase for Roy too. It's a suavely configured space where
display platforms ribbon around corners or morph into mahogany
staircases that have embedded steel treads.
