The idea of openness had a decisive influence on the interior space, it manifested by the limitation of supports and strong connection with open space Openness and élan of the space while easements of the context were achieved through the innovative construction with 22 m prestressed concrete beams.

Vertical communication connects the interior with the exterior. It brings visitors on the belvedere, then on the roof taking the form of the garden leaning to the manor building.

The garden space states the exhibition continuity, it presented sequentially the geobotanical districts as rocks and plants peculiar to them.

The roof is terminated by the geological facade as it was emerging from the ground.
