A unique museum designed by Zahda Hadid is just breathtaking to behold. Hadid was meant to design homes and buildings and not shoes. According to curbed.com, "We may have been slightly unimpressed with the sneaker that Zaha Hadid designed, but Zaha was always destined to win us back."
Now, a new masterpiece looms over the horizon. According to archpaper.com, "Zaha Hadid's Messner Mountain Museum Corones is perched 7,464 feet above sea level. The museum itself is embedded within Mount Kronplatz." The mountain museum offers a breathtaking view of the Dolomites region in Italy. The subterranean design of Hadid was meant to allow the computer-drafted building to be one with the mountain's rough rocks. The museum is unique and there is none like it. According to a report by archpaper.com, "With only the cement-based entrance exposed, the museum resembles a singular, enormous climbing wall hand."
This museum was made to pay tribute to Reinhold Messner. According to a report by archpaper.com, "The Messner Mountain Museum Corones represents the "supreme discipline of mountaineering." This museum is a part of the six museums dedicated to the legendary mountaineer and explorer Reinhold Messner. He was known as the first climber to climb all fourteen "eighteen-thousanders". He is also known as the first to summit Everest without supplemental oxygen as stated in a report by archpaper.com.
The Messner Mountain Museum Corones depicts perseverance and dedication. With every step, visitors can have a glimpse of the persistent attitude of Reinhold Messner and reminisce over his achievements as a mountaineer. According to a report by archpaper.com, "It exhibits films, Dolomite paintings, relics and the alpine history."
Zahda Hadid's museum masterpiece was able to deliver what Reinhold Messner rightfully deserved. The mountain museum speaks for its majestic aura and the power of showing history in challenging ways. To climb a mountain to see history is not designed for the weak at heart, it is designed for those that have the commitment to persevere. Zahda Hadid's museum indeed gave justice to Reinhold Messner's mountaineering legacy.
