The ramp is the main architectural element.
Already outside the building the ramp begins to descend into the ground so that
it attracts the joggers, the walkers, the flaneurs, the employees, the drivers...
The museums can be approached by five different paths. They are leading to the
two entrance points of the museum, located on the north and south side ( as the
west side being blocked by the lake and east side being blocked by the wall
which mark the boundary of the park). A fragment of a loop crosses the wall
separating 5th avenue and the park, discreetly this step attracts
and suggest curiosity to the passerby. The drivers and cyclists are taken down
to the basement where they can either load artworks, park their bikes or just
cross the building.
From the purest and soft color (white) to the brightest and chaotic color spectrum via a gradient of colors. The area attributed to each color is in proportion to the horizontal surface area of the artworks.
The mechanism of color has ben recognised into clear systems, themselves produts of modern physics. The two most common methods of color classification are Munsell's and Ostwald's. In their systems, the three elements of color-value, chroma and hue (in short degrees of clarity and light) can be explained by constructing a three dimensonal circular object which allows us to visualize the physical phenomenon of color more easily. The range of color of the collection has been categorised according to Munsell's system of color.
