MACRO

Yesterday we were able to visit Odile Decq's Museo d'Arte Contemporanea Roma (which was under construction). It was amazing to see the innovative technology of glass beams and columns incorporated into the building design and to see the new construction mesh with the classic architecture of the existing Peroni factory. Intended to house contemporary artwork, the museum also largely functions as a community space (though the building takes up a city block, much of the space will be open to the public). I found the glass rooftop garden and fountain to be particularly interesting and would love to come back in 13 months to see the finished product!
