Gallery Dreamers: Planning site specific artworks for the MAXXI. 
Here are some images and architectural designs from the planning and completion of the MAXXI. I hope that they are useful in helping to strip back the MAXXI to its purest forms and spaces - which is what we are going to be working with. There's a nice quote from Hadid: 'the museum is ‘not a object-container', but rather a campus for art’ - I like the sound of that!
