The other side of the canopy
is raised higher than the other, indicating the entry to the
museum below but also allowing for views to an old church
at an angle to the plaza (partially obscured in the image
at left). As one exits to the plaza the church front is in
full view, an important consideration for the architect and
the city planners. This gesture, and the altogether low profile
of the design, respect the historical fabric while simultaneously
looking forward through its simple, gateway structure and
elegant canopy.
