Description:
|
The Contemporary Arts Center found a new home in Cincinnati in 2003. Construction on the building at 6th and Walnut Streets took two years. The building, which was designed by Zaha Hadid met with much criticism and skepticism when it was presented. The building is Hadid's first U.S. Commission and is the first major American museum to be designed by a woman. Hadid remains on the cutting edge of Deconstructivist architecture, both challenging and, in her own way, responding to context. Her draftsmanship and daring use of multiple computerized models have helped communicate her vision of an open-ended structure for the CAC. It is linked with street-level life through an "urban carpet" that ascends into a series of galleries and support-spaces. These are connected by an active, switchback vertical spine, combining ramps and stairs. Degrees of transparency, translucency, and opacity provide internal and external vistas to help overcome a restricted site and a demanding program that comb
