SHORT ANALYSIS: 
CHOSEN: Zaha Hadid Architects, MAXXI National Museum of XXI Century Arts (Rome, Italy)

ZAHA HADID
Concepts and Ideas; 

Freeform structures 
Interlocking
Overlapping 
Dynamics 
Direction 
Repetitive but has variation 

- Geometrically acute/sharp elements 
- Rigid and sharp elements 
- Wanted to interpret Zaha's freeform and bold structures through overlapping and twisting 
- Structures appear frozen in time 
- There are a lot of lines/beams/structures going the same direction; series of lines portray direction 
- Structures consist of structures with uniformity and some without; wanted to portray both concepts into one model
