...being readied for construction. One of them is Daniel Libeskind's tumbling addition to the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, which looks like a cross between a building and an avalanche. Another is the Contemporary Arts Center in Cincinnati by the Iranian-born, diagonally inclined British architect Zaha Hadid. Several of the most spectacular works in progress are by Gehry, like his annex to the Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington, a whiplashing addition to a city where, when it comes to new architecture, you can usually hear a pin drop...
...that challenge. Miami opened one in 1996, the same year Chicago expanded its version. Last year architect Will Bruder carved one out of a multiplex cinema in Scottsdale, Ariz., and MoCA Denver moved to a 10,000-sq.-ft. permanent home. Cincinnati recently announced that the dynamic female architect Zaha Hadid would design its contemporary arts center.

Its name is doubly apt: housed in an abandoned factory that covers 13 acres (or about a third of the formerly industrial town), the museum...

Iraqi-born English architect Zaha Hadid's plan, which shared first prize with French designer Antoine Grumbach's, is all cantilevered glass and steel with the bulkiest parts of the structure at either end so as to interrupt the view as little as possible. Grumbach devised an open-air suspension bridge with a greenhouse...
