Zaha Hadid, MAXXI National Museum of XXI Century Arts, Rome
(jazzy piano music) Voiceover: We're just north of the center of Rome looking at Zaha Hadid's relatively new building, the Maxxi Museum, devoted to 21st century art.발음듣기
As we approached the museum we walked by military barracks and we just begin to spot the concrete facade of the museum resting gently on the older buildings, poking its nose around the older buildings.발음듣기
Voiceover: The fact that it feels like it's landed suggest weightlessness despite the fact that it is an almost unbroken slab of concrete and that's in part because of the shadow created by the overhang of that concrete reminiscent of the international style and the work of people like Le Corbusier or Mies van der Rohe.발음듣기
Voiceover: In the facade of the building, rows of metallic columns that might remind us of Bernini's piazza at St. Peter's.발음듣기
Voiceover: There's also the historical precedent of this concrete material that the ancient Romans perfected and used to shape space and she is very much the inheritor of that tradition.발음듣기
Voiceover: Although we don't see those round arches like a Roman aqueduct or the Pantheon, it's almost like those round arches have tilted and become horizontal and moved the visitor to the museum through ribbons of space.발음듣기
Voiceover: Right after school she had worked for Rem Koolhaas at his Office for Metropolitan Architecture.발음듣기
This was one of the most inventive and theoretically important architectural firms in the 1970s and 1980s.발음듣기
Voiceover: Hadid is clearly drawing inspiration from modernism, from constructivism, from the work of the great Russian painters of the early 20th century like Malevich, embodying early 20th century Utopianism about the modern city.발음듣기
Voiceover: In the warm grace of the concrete, in the silvery grace of the metal flooring and in the blacks and whites.발음듣기
It reminds me of the interest in translucency, transparency and opaqueness that you see especially in the work of artists like Moholy-Nagy. in the early part of the 20th century, as well as an abashed interest in the power of pure geometry.발음듣기
This massive figure that creates very clean, stark geometric lines and that creates a ribbon for people to walk up.발음듣기
Voiceover: There is that sense of ribbons of space, that path around the minaret coming undone and branching out when we walk through the spaces of the museum.발음듣기
There is something very exciting about moving through this building and not knowing what one will come across next.발음듣기
No matter which galleries we go into, we're drawn back to this fabulous stairways that are black but lit underneath with white light.발음듣기
Voiceover: We're walking on metal grids and this entire interior space seems to be a contrast between this wonderful curvilinear ribbons and strict rectilinear geometries.발음듣기
Voiceover: We see those rectilinear geometries in the walls withe the blocks of concrete, in the stairs and in the concrete beams that almost read these blades along the ceiling.발음듣기
Voiceover: Our eye shoots along those beams and are slowed only by the thins of the louvers.발음듣기
Voiceover: The stairways move like bends in and around those rectilinear shapes and feel very playful.발음듣기
They do feel playful, almost as if you could have a huge metal ball that runs along as if they were a track.발음듣기
There's also a hint of the sinister and at least one critic has likened it to the Prince of Piranesi in the way that they seem to move in every direction with endless multiplication.발음듣기
Voiceover: The architect said, and I'm quoting here, "My first idea was about a delta where the mainstreams become the galleries and minor ones become bridges which connect to them."발음듣기
If you think about the history of museums, they're generally palaces that have been re-purposed.발음듣기
For example, the Leuven, Paris which was the royal residence of the King of France or here in Rome, the Vatican Museum is the Papal palace.발음듣기
Voiceover: You could think about many of the palazzi in Rome that were once family palaces that are now museums.발음듣기
Voiceover: We could think about the early modernist architecture of the Museum of Modern Art.발음듣기
Museum architecture says a lot about how we see ourselves and how we see our cultural heritage and how we move into the future.발음듣기
