CONSTRUCTION METHOD

•In-situ steel formwork

For continuity, the walls of the MAXXI were cast on-site in self-compacting concrete, representing one of the most challenging aspects of the construction process – with casts up to 50m long

CONSTRUCTION METHOD

•Load bearing wall -no column

•Steel structures

ROOF SYSTEM&SKIN SYSTEM

Museum of the 21st Century

Museum of the 21st Century

On the ceiling, deep, evenly spaced fins of glass-fiber-reinforced concrete (GFRC) parallel the gallery side walls, accentuating the effect of every curve.

Museum of the 21st Century

Inside each curving channel, an armature of evenly spaced steel beams parallels the concrete side walls in three dimensions, supporting a roof of double-pane, low-e coated glass panels. The relatively small steel beams are visually emphasized by much larger glass-fiber-reinforced concrete (GFRC) fins that hang below the beams into the interior space.

Museum of the 21st Century

The continuous roof skylight and light-colored interior walls of MAXXI combine to produce a consistent day lighting effect throughout. Epoxy-enameled galvanized steel screens hover above the skylights to mitigate heat gain through the roof, while mirrored diffusers and operable aluminum louvers control light levels within the galleries.

Light from MAXXI's skylight roof is controlled first by a continuous diffuser and finally by a series of aluminum louvers mounted in the channels formed by adjacent fins.

The walls of the MAXXI were cast on-site in self-compacting concrete, representing one of the most challenging aspects of the construction process – with casts up to 50m long

Exposed-concrete walls provide the primary structure of MAXXI. The largest few pairs of these run in parallel to form four top-lit channels that bend and twist in three dimensions. The irregular intersection of these wide channels forms the building's three-story entry and wayfinding space, while their solitary ends enclose four of the five gallery suites.

The concrete shuttering involved the coordination of casting guidelines issued by Zaha Hadid Architects; with the site management directly responsible for the structural planning of the joinery, the completion of off-standard formwork systems, the design mix of the concrete, and the critical aspects of laying the concrete.

A selection of movable partitions serve as flexible mounting surfaces for art that cannot readily be displayed on MAXXI's many curving walls.

It consists of galleries contained in long, narrow

concrete forms that curve, overlap and weave around

each other.

Museum of the 21st Century

The walls of the MAXXI create major streams and minor streams. The

major streams are the galleries, and the minor streams are the

connections and the bridges. The site has a unique L-shaped footprint that

meanders between existing buildings

MATERIALS

Museum of the 21st Century

Museum of the 21st Century

• Fair-faced concrete Plain concrete (As-cast Finish Concrete / Bare Concrete)

• Also known as decorative concrete, is named for its highly decorative effect.

• Exposed-concrete walls provide the primary structure of MAXXI. 

• It belongs to a casting moulding, without any decoration, place concrete used directly as a result of natural surface finishes

Museum of the 21st Century

• Glass fibre reinforced concrete (GFRC)• Glass fiber concretes are mainly used in exterior building façade panels and as

architectural precast concrete.• GFRC fins that hang below the beams into the interior space.

Museum of the 21st Century

• Glass (roof, floor & window)• The use of glass in buildings

is a transparent feature to allow light to enter into rooms and floors, illuminating enclosed spaces and framing an exterior view through a window. It is also a material for internal partitions and external cladding.

• The glass roof is protected on the exterior by a steel mesh that screens light and ensures easy maintenance. 

Museum of the 21st Century

• Steel (staircase, column, etc)• Controls qualities such as

the hardness, ductility, and tensile strength of the resulting steel.

• Aesthetical value, modern & contemporary styles

Museum of the 21st Century

• Plasterboard• Panel made of gypsum

plaster pressed between two thick sheets of paper. It is used to make interior walls and ceilings

• Plasterboard connected with concrete walls creates the technical cavity that contains the museum's complex mechanical systems.

SPECIAL FEATURES

Museum of the 21st Century

Museum of the 21st Century

A gallery on the third floor cantilevers 45 feet

beyond the building’s main

structure. A tilted glass wall offers views over

the public plaza.

Museum of the 21st Century

A system of metal grilles, blinds, and adjustable louvers

controls sunlight streaming into galleries.

Museum of the 21st Century

The 228,000 square foot building includes 108,000 square feet of galleries, some of which are accessed by a long winding ramp. Some of the concrete fins

suspended from the steel and glass roofs provide power for lights, while others hold tracks to support temporary walls for exhibitions.

Museum of the 21st Century

A system of steel stairs and ramps serves as a counterpoint to the building’s concrete structure. Built off-site and delivered in sections no larger than 7 feet, the stairs were painted black using the same technology manufacturers use for cars.

Museum of the 21st Century

A forking bridge above the entry was supposed to connect to a pair of outbuildings on the other side of the plaza, but the client decided to renovate

an existing building there instead for use as a café, bookstore, and offices.
