The general elements of the architectural composition are based on the idea of an introverted closed-box building, which opens towards the interior (atrium). The confinement and the evenness of the exterior walls with the minimal openings necessary – fissures turning back to the interior atrium – are dominated by transparency and a sense of depth, with the arrangement of the successive layers of materials (wooden blinds, metal balustrades around three sides and glass reinforced with wire net) in front of the ramp. The movement of the visitors in the atrium space is both theatrical and ceremonial. There are multiple approaches in the exhibition spaces so that the building can utilize many display scenarios. The materials, which dress the façade of the building, were selected on the basis of color, texture, and the feeling of transparency.
