MAXXI Rome, Italy - building opened Nov



photo : Roland Halbe MAXXI Rome : Italy's first national museum of contemporary art and its first national museum of architecture. Criticised by critic Ellis Woodman for placing form over function. The MAXXI building is not a new design direction for Zaha Hadid, it is indeed a major project for the studio, but not a pivotal one in terms of programme or style. The architecture is undeniably powerful and dynamic but like many recent 'containers for art' - such as the stunning 'UFO' building in Graz by architects Cook / Fournier - there exists tension between form and function, between expressive exterior and an interior which its owners will want to function in a certain way.
