Place: MAXXI
National Museum of 21st Century Arts
ROME | ITALY
Duration: JUNE 23, 2017-JANUARY 14, 2018
One of the
most influential and visionary architects of our times, Zaha Hadid has
redefined the architecture of the twenty-first century and captured the imagination
of the whole world.
One year
since her untimely death, MAXXI is devoting to her The exhibition Zaha Hadid in
Italy. Focusing on Hadid’s projects in Italy, the exhibition highlights her
intense and productive relationship with our country, presenting projects and
works created by means of various instruments of representation, research, and
experimentation that she honed in the course of her career; from pictorial and
conceptual sketches to three-dimensional models, from virtual representations
to the more recent interdisciplinary studies addressed to the application of
new solutions and technologies, in a pioneering effort of investigation in
design.
The
exhibition presents a portrait of Hadid’s multifarious personality, it is
conceived as a walk through; starting from the built work and projects in
design development in Italy, to product design. The gaze of Hélène Binet, a
photographer who has been one of the most mindful of Hadid’s production over
the years, interprets the strength and the dynamism of the architecture with a
series of intense photographs that provide new details of her works. The
constant drive towards an interdisciplinary search for new design methods is
also presented in the sections dedicated to CoDe (Computational Design) and to
ZHA Design DNA, a window on the creative legacy that the studio has fully
welcomed. To paraphrase Zaha Hadid, there should be no end to experimentation.
