The base structure serves multiple functions, accommodating support units, social spaces like a conference hall and cafeteria, as well as a research center. Its design is open and scattered, with semi-open public spaces that invite interaction and create a welcoming meeting point for local visitors. This layout subtly mirrors the varied types of spaces within, offering an informal gathering space for both museum-goers and city dwellers.

In contrast, the museum block stands apart with a more abstract and elevated form, utilizing a prismatic geometric design. Its indirect accessibility, due to its placement above the base, adds a sense of discovery to the visitor's experience. The façade, with its lined-up lamella design, reflects both modern minimalism and the historical depth of the artifacts within.
