In order to establish a strong connection between the Museum, the City Center and the City Park, the building presents a fabric-like structure that refers to both. On the ground level the North-South arrangement of the structural walls allows permeability in this direction, visually connecting the General Post Office with the South Side of the park and the Springbrunnen Fountain. Vice-versa on the upper level the East-West orientation of the volumes references to the axes of City Park Town Hall and the Council Lane on the East, while focusing the views towards the City Park and the Alberto-Adriano Column on the West. The chess like pattern generated by the juxtaposition of the lower and upper structural walls results in a multi-sided structure with no rear side.
