There are two main sequences linking up the volumes - the gallery sequence and the public space sequence, and they intertwine to form a tight-knit whole The gallery sequence links up three galleries of different sizes on different levels by internal circulation. The visitor is guided by the light washing the wall at the ends of various twists and turns, and the sequence culminates at the bright, side-lit space connecting to the garden. The public space sequence links up the rest of the space, and circulation is on the exterior cutting through the volume or sliding between volumes. The two sequences intertwine to form a tight-knit whole. The spaces are more often connected visually than physically. In this way, visitors to the museum would always be aware the presence of other spaces and they could often see what is happening at the spaces when they pass by on the way. This maximizes the interaction of the community and the museum.
