In August 2014 Zaha Hadid sued The New York Review of Books and architecture critic Martin Filler over comments in a book review, and now the two sides have settled with Hadid donating the settlement money to a labor rights charity.
In filing the lawsuit, Hadid asserted "that Filler's June 5 review of Rowan Moore's Why We Build: Power and Desire in Architecture 'falsely implied she was indifferent to the alleged difficult working conditions of migrant workers on high-profile construction projects in the Middle East, including her own.'" Less than a week later Filler penned an apology: "There have been no worker deaths on the [Hadid's] Al Wakrah project and Ms Hadid's comments about Qatar that I quoted in the review had nothing to do with the Al Wakrah site or any of her projects. I regret the error."
Today Architectural Record reported on the settlement with this joint statement from the two parties:
