I’d say Zaha Hadid’s MAXXI blows everything else out of the water. It pushes the envelop. The others are good, but not quite on the same level.

All the entries look kind of similar. All about surface.

Where are the people, communities, families, children in these buildings. This isn’t Architecture, it’s fashion photography.

Good point, I guess that’s the fault of the architectural media as opposed to the architects themselves

Zaha’s play is going to be obsolete in less than 10 yrs. It’s pop-architecture. Pretentious and shallow. Formalistic nothing else. Chipperfiled is deep and serious, no flashy visual effects and high pitches but pure music.

Zaha’s Rome MAXXI for sure. That deserves to win. It is a masterpiece. Chipperfield’s is a great architect but this is not his best.

gimmeagreak,

I think the minimalism of Chipperfield will also be obsolete one day… but it doesen’t matter to me… what we like in ancien building is that they are a reflection of their time… and the fact they are “out of fashion” is interesting. To my point of view, the two of them are great architects (ZH and DC)… each one with its preoccupations, style, poetry…

Allow me to disagree. “Good stuff” is never getting “obsolete” or out of fashion. Ancient Greek shrines, Parisian residential style (so called French) , Chicago art-deco or German Bauhaus just few generic examples… Good interpretations of so called “classic” or “retro” (even so arrogantly rejected by stylish-modern architects) are still righteously loved by the majority of “regular folks”. It doesn’t mean that bold experiments in architecture should be avoided. It just that in my view some of them are intelligent, deep and creative (Chipperfield) and some are pompous, shallow and formalistic (Hadid). That’s why some are not obsolete even in hundred years while others are out of fashion momentarily. JMHO.

Criticizing Zaha Hadid is fashionable today, as some may think that this makes them super-individualistic-intellectuals.
Hadid and Chipperfield are both good, the others I don’t know so much.

I’d like Hadid to take it. Have a feeling either one of the schools will win it. Political reasons. Governments cutting back on Building Schools program and all. Money on Clapham Manor. Shinier.

Hadid Maxxi for sure – this is one of her best works and is definately a masterpiece, many years in the creation.

Id like chipperfield to win it ,not because of their minimal style , because most of his work and this one are relate to the context ,actually their works are rised according to site and context that they are working in.
