A museum venue by nature offers the user a journey. The Exhibition Center in COTAI is a deep shell transversal to the street. The corner plot was used as an opportunity to expose the section of the building by making it work as an elevation: users enter the building from the street below the shell and once they move to the first floor they are inside the grand shell of the main exhibition hall and finally are led out through the main glazed elevation and gently ramped down back to the front.
