The Museum of Arts of the XXI century in Rome, Italy is one of Zaha Hadid’s prominent projects. It reflects her style of deconstructivism. Her iconic fluid lines reflect the dynamic nature of the modern life against the static grid of the classical city.
The concept behind the design is to create a cultural field where the museum is not just a building but intersecting interior and urban spaces. The linear geometry of the building aligns with the grid of the city while interacting with the surrounding fabric. The walkway of the museum is open to the public.

The museum consists of two buildings that are interconnected by a series of linear flexible spaces. The dynamic spaces have no boundaries between them. Various bridges and stairs are used to connect the different exhibition spaces. They are twisted and fragmented emphasizing the dynamic nature of the buildings. Their black colour adds contrast to the grey concrete walls.

The museum is characterized by its curvilinear concrete walls that are interrupted by glass glazing to invite pedestrians to enter the museum. There is a glass roof that allows daylight to flood the atrium. The ceiling has linear beams that add to the dynamic nature of the interior spaces. These beams guide the circulation through the museum.
