                                                  In the shadow, because this operation must not
                                                  overshadow the museum, which will be domi-
                                                  nant, and clearly so. The great austere ,“be-
                                                  sieged” by its glass elevators, is the protected
                                                  home of the masterworks of our recent artistic
                                                  culture, and it must impose its power simply
                                                  and obviously. We must swear our allegiance
                                                  and express our respected and adherence. The
                                                  Museum is spreading, its terrain enlarged, it
                                                  is annexing part of the district but does not
                                                  strive to disturb or traumatise, at the utmost,
                                                  adapt it and obviously value it. However, this is
                                                  merely a precondition. The insertion of a type

                                                  of contemporary architecture in a constructed
                                                  site is never fully achieved if it does not help
                                                  to revalue its surroundings if, at the same ti-
                                                  me, it does not enhance its own value via its
                                                  immediate environs.
                                                  This proposal is a gentle, natural operation.
                                                  The Museum takes in a triangular block to the
                                                  west, three of four buildings and some trees
                                                  under one of its wings.
                                                  Although these buildings change, they stay
                                                  roughly in the same place and their relation-
                                                  ship with the neighbouring architectures does
                                                  not vary in essence: we simply try to clear the
                                                  western façade of the Museum. The steel-
                                                  clad unit jutting out from this facade will be
                                                  surrounded by glass to protect spotlights and
                                                  screens. This small glass tower completes the
                                                  family of towers that already mark the other
                                                  facades of the museum.
                                                  An extension is an extension: the stone and
                                                  granite plinth of the Museum extend into
