Each plateau provides extensive south facing terraces for outdoor reading, thus enhancing the building as an open and accessible public space for the neighbourhood. 

Blurring the limit between the interior and the exterior, the transparent and luminous ground floor reveals the natural continuity of the slopped groundscape, under the seemingly floating volume above. The hybrid mass timber structure is conceived as a modular system framing a series of interior and exterior courtyards. The resulting plan allows for maximum flexibility, functionality and natural light in all reading spaces and further accentuates the impression of being in the park while being inside.

By lifting up the main hall and digging the ground below it we generate an open and multi layered piazza activated by various public programs accessible all year round.

The square configuration of the main structure allows for optimised modularity and adaptability within the special exhibition hall, all the while emphasising central position of the venue within the network of existing museums scattered in the vicinity.
