The vertical timber elements, which function at the same time as light- and structure-filtering pieces, support a ventilated facade that covers the exhibition spaces and gives the project a unique and sober image that echoes its surroundings.
A lobby leads to four of the five exhibitions halls at the center; the fifth will be located in a freestanding pavilion close to the main building. The large windows wrapping the two volumes create a close visual connection with the surroundings and the river.
