Process of creating and designing the museum
He is fond of using concrete because it is eco-friendly and reduces CO2 (forgets that concrete uses steel in it for strength). Since water, sand and aggregate can all be found locally.
Ruddy states that “I designed it with fear in my guts, under the pressure of that metaphysical horizon that is the Mediterranean, of that cobalt blue that becomes Klein blue then ultramarine, that drives you mad after a while and turns silver when the wind gets up. It’s violent …’
The building offers some few curves, pure horizontal surface, entirely free of clutter and intermediary supports and few change of the orientation of the object.
He says that it is not only to show the important of the Mediterranean culture reflect in this building but also to show the “museum dedicated to the culture of that very sea” somehow bring it into neutral exhibition space where light-sensitive objects will be displayed.

Interior space
A system of ramps winds up behind the layered facade, forming a leisurely promenade architecturale.
As you step on the ziggurat ramp, you get to experience the astonishing interior space between the glass façade and the detach veil concrete mesh façade
