One Thousand Museum“I don’t think that architecture is only about shelter, is only about a simple enclosure. It should be able to excite you, to calm you, to make you think.” Zaha Hadid.

“I use architecture as subject matter to create spare, ambiguous and abstract photographs that do not explain buildings, but rather interpret them.” Judith Turner.
One Thousand Museum, Miami, Florida, USA – 7 Jan 2014
Internationally renowned for her revolutionary designs of buildings in premier cities worldwide, including Beijing, Abu Dhabi, Rome, and London, Zaha Hadid was the developers’ first choice for One Thousand Museum. “Miami has become a truly global city and we wanted to work with someone who has the vision to create an architectural icon that will capture its unique character, ” said Birdman and Covin in a joint statement.

MAXXI Rome wins WAF Awards + Stirling Prize
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 the practice, it is indeed a major project for the studio, but not a pivotal one in terms of programme or style.MAXXI Rome 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.
