"This proposal is a gentle, natural operation.
The Museum takes in a triangular block to the west, three of four buildings and some trees under one of its wings.
Although these buildings change, they stay roughly in the same place and their relationship with the neighbouring architectures does not vary in essence: we simply try to clear the western façade of the Museum."

"Ma questa è solo una premessa: l’inserimento di qualsiasi architettura contemporanea in un contesto preesistente sarà pienamente riuscita solo se saprà valorizzare ciò che la circonda e, viceversa, se verrà nobilitata da ciò che le sta intorno."
