MAXXI

This time in August we looked at the nominees for this year’s Stirling Prize for Architecture.
As expected, Zaha Hadid Architects took the prize for the MAXXI, the National Museum of 21st Century Arts in Rome. Of the nominees, MAXXI was mid-table in terms of cost, but arguably the most striking and iconic looking outcome.
In their words, the architects' vision for the museum was to create a ‘field of buildings’ rather than 'an object'. As seen from above this appears to have been achieved. The site is a tangle of linear forms that lie above, below and amongst one another, culminating in the bold cantilevered gallery that has already become the resounding image of the museum.
