An elongated prism floats in the forest while a footbridge connects it
to the city. Vast bay windows seem to suggest comic strips spaces, while
the prism offers a colorful oneiric and fancied hall. This large reception
area accommodates the four exhibition volumes also linked with each other
via footbridges.
