MAXXI supercodes the notion of the museum as ‘object’ or – presenting a field of buildings accessable to all, with no firm boundary between what is ‘within’ and what is ‘without’. Central to this new reality are confluent lines – walls intersecting and separating to create interior and exterior spaces.
Composition and Concept
MAXXI integrated itself with its surrounds, through the flow of its walls it defines major streams (the galleries) and minor streams (interconnections and bridges) in a L-shaped footprint which in this context becomes ‘liberation’ – a freedom to bundle, twist and turn though existing buildings.
MAXXI expresses itself through glass, steel and cement – delighting in neutrality, achieving great curatorial flexibility and variety. To wander through, to experience this place – these places – is the encounter constantly changing vistas and surprises.
