From the jury minutes: In the centre is the large garden with the arena in the middle. The museum is positioned on the edge but has a striking appear­ance deriving from two towers, a very high tow­er for the collections and a light tower above the creative zone.
Minimising the garden area occupied by the museum with a more vertical structure necessitates deep underground construction, multiple vertical circu­lation elements and functional separation, with the administration moved into the monastery.
