11. •The Corner Ramps Function Beyond Its
Capacity Of Conveying A Visitor FromOne

•Since They Are Located On The External
Face Of Each Block, They Function As
Buffer Spaces Between The Windows Of
The External Screen Wallsand The Gallery
Floors.
•In This Way Direct Sunlight Is Restricted
Fron Entering The Display Areas And
Instead Diffused Daylight Illuminates The
Gallery Floors From The Sides.
The Ramp The Gallery

Means Of Specially Designed Skylights That
Allow Only Indirect, Diffused Daylighting.

Of The Gallery Floors.

Frozen But Have The Capacity To Be ChangedAndAdded To
