The Contemporary Arts Center in Cincinnati, Ohio, is quite an interesting bit of architecture. CAC is Zaha Hadid’s first built project here in the United States, construction being completed in 2003. Hadid is noted with another first, the CAC is the first major project to go up in the declining downtown. Upon entering the center you will notice that the sidewalk becomes the “urban carpet” of the interior space and extends into a wall. If you have young children, don’t be afraid to take them along, they’ll enjoy running up the curvature that creates continuity from the floor to wall. Be sure to take a look at the stair leading to the lower level as well. It is interesting to say the least but I ‘ll leave the rest as a surprise. I would put this on your list of places to visit, hands down. 9.7/10
