Zaha Hadid revs up a tight site in Cincinnati with the ROSENTHAL CENTER FOR CONTEMPORARY ART and draws a crowd.

Richard Rosenthal Center for Contemporary Art, the museum, which cost a modest $20.5 million to build, hardly seems related to the foreign objects rendered in Zaha Hadid's seductive drawings or previously published projects. The Rosenthal Center sits sedately on an 11,000-square-foot corner lot down...

      ab: Richard Rosenthal Center for Contemporary Art, the museum, which cost a modest $20.5 million to build, hardly seems related to the foreign objects rendered in Zaha Hadid's seductive drawings or previously published projects. The Rosenthal Center sits sedately on an 11,000-square-foot corner lot downtown. Its main, Sixth Street facade is restrained, with horizontal, windowless volumes of concrete and black-anodized-aluminum panels effortlessly floating over glass voids. At first glance, the building seems to owe more to Marcel Breuer's later work, say the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York City, or the Armstrong Rubber Building in New Haven, Connecticut, than to Vitra. The museum operates as a Kunsthalle for temporary exhibitions, as it has since 1939, when it was founded as the Modern Art Society. INSET: Cincinnati: Cultural Capital.
