Zaha Hadid's Unfinished MAXXI: Completion or New Design?
The MAXXI museum in Rome, designed by Zaha Hadid, was originally conceived as a larger complex with five buildings, but only the central structure was completed. The unfinished project raises the question of whether to complete Hadid's original design or pursue a new architectural vision. The museum is located at Piazza Alighiero Boetti, a square that was not originally planned. The article by Massimiliano Tonelli on Artribune explores the debate around the future of the site.
