David Chipperfield, City of cultures, Ansaldo Area, Milan, 2000
The entrance is on the ground floor, in a transparent block made of glass and mirrors; the first floor will host exhibition spaces and the auditorium, while the top floor will house a restaurant overlooking the courtyard, with an entrance separate from the rest of the building.
Chipperfield says that an exhibition facility must not only have didactic aims, but also offer citizens a resource, a landmark and a place for dialogue, and this is the philosophy behind his museum complex.
