Well is it his design?
This is a picture of the Rome MAXXI that opened more than a year ago.
Much has been made of how a so called original Scandanavian design may not be the best design for wrapping around a Museum of Liverpool Life.
But here we see its not even an original concept.
Is it a plagarism of a Zaha Hadid museum?
It certainly looks like that to me.
The World Heritage Site bastardised for a museum that looks like a rip off of another museum..........Very clever.

It is only a couple of minutes long but it may be worth listening to Mr Nielson of 3XN.
