National Museum of the XXI Century Arts (MAXXI)

To begin this blog, I would like to draw your attention to the new National Museum of the XXI Century Arts in Rome, designed by Zaha Hadid Architects.

I think this building is a wonderful example of the great things that can currently be done with form, space and materials in todays architecture. As a tribute to the museum, the building itself will be the only thing on display for the time being. It is also worth noting that even as we approach the second decade of the twenty-first century, women are still hugely under represented when it comes to architecture and design on an international scale, so it is nice that Hadid was able to get this project built.
