Kunsthal--page 2 (of two pages)

The architects explain that the building was conceived as a square crossed by two routes: one, a road running east-west, parallel to the Maasboulevard, an expressway on top of one of Rotterdam's largest dikes; the other, a public ramp extending the north-south axis of the Museum Park. Below the photos show the north-south axis through the building.
		Looking south This ramp extends from the park up to the dike level. (See last photos on preceding page for the entrance to the ramp.)
