The unique piece of architecture shown at right is the Ferrari museum which is currently under construction in the town of Modena, Italy. The design created by architecture firm Future Systems, includes a race car-like yellow roof that arcs over the two-story house that Enzo Ferrari was born in way back in 1898. The roof has fins and the design was inspired by the look of a classic Maserati. The museum is set to be finished in 2011 and should bring thousands of car-loving tourists to the town in northern Italy.
