The second area to be served is a contemporary art museum with many exhibition spaces organized around a central atrium with organic curves. The building will also include an outdoor space, taking advantage of the unique location of the site, allowing the outdoor exhibition of sculptures and other creations not fearing the weather.

Of the three buildings, this is probably the least impressive, but still. This "little theater" or multipurpose room will have 500 seats and will organize cultural events or medium scale banquets, corporate or other seminars.

Although they are physically separated, the proposed agency Zaha Hadid architecture attempts to reconcile and even nest the various functions / opening hours of the three structures to allow urban and cultural experience / 24 24 Example the theater (and catering) opens at a time when the museum closes, while the last building will be open day and night.
