Zaha Hadid won the RIBA Stirling Prize
MAXXI National Museum of the 21st Century Arts in Rome
The MAXXI -National Museum of the 21st Century Arts by Zaha Hadid‘s office has won the RIBA Stirling Prize for 2010.
The museum is committed to experimentation and innovation in the arts and architecture. The project was assigned to Zaha Hadid Architects on 1998 after winning an international architectural competition and it took over 10 years until its completion.
The building is a composition of bending oblong tubes, overlapping, intersecting and piling over each other, resembling a piece of massive transport infrastructure.
The MAXXI consists of two museums: "MAXXI art" and "MAXXI architecture". In addition to the two museums, the MAXXI also features an auditorium, a library and media library specialized in art and architecture, a bookshop, a cafeteria, a bar/restaurant, galleries for temporary exhibition, performances, educational activities. The large public square designed in front of the museum is planned to host art works and live events.
The MAXXI has been many times published in international press.
