From within the walls, the city is concealed and glimpses of Venice are revealed; lights of color, vestments of shadow, and the jostling wooden levels rebel against the rigidity of
their enclosures.
The new bridge, stretched taught with glass and steel, contrasts with the older wooden arch, once temporary, now part of observed history.
The bridges force a dialogue between the two structures, tying the museum, which focuses inward, to the cafeteria, which focuses outward to the city beyond.
