Vagin* Stadium WAS Designed by a Female

Architect… The female architect behind designs

for the new Al-Wakrah sports stadium has said

critics who compared her plans to female

genitalia are 'really embarrassing.'

Zaha Hadid has hit back against claims her

designs for the stadium, which will host the 2022

FIFA World Cup, resemble a woman's private

parts insisting they were inspired by an ancient

dhow boat.

Iraqi-born Hadid, who is considered one of the

world's best female architects, also suggested the

plans would not have faced the same criticism if

they were designed by a man.

'It's really embarrassing they come up with

nonsense stuff like this.

'What are they saying? Everything with a hole in

it is a vagina? That's ridiculous,' she told Time.

Hadid, who won the prestigious Pritzker

Architecture Prize in 2004 added 'if a guy had

done this project' there wouldn't have been the

same level of criticism.

The striking design is meant to resemble an

ancient dhow boat that Qataris traditionally used

for pearl diving.

But when plans were released for a new 45,000-

capacity stadium to host the 2022 FIFA World

Cup the first reaction was something different

entirely.

As Qatar unveiled the stunning blueprints for its

new state-of-the-art climate-controlled Al-Wakrah

sports stadium, design went viral.

Thousands of fans posted tweets likening it to a

woman's private parts – something that was

almost certainly unintentional.
