If theres one reason for Zaha Hadids exceptionalism its wealth. Her career was subsidised for decades and wealthy connections brought the work in when it first came.
Now of course its not the same and the practice can support itself at least to some extent, but whether it can do this over the long run is still a question.
Her treatment of young staff which varies from exploitative to abusive to helpful depending who you ask, is not very different to other Starchitects.
