The pavillon is placed on a wide table-land on the higher part of the cliff, so to enjoy the breathtaking view; but is seen from the sea as part of the costline, as its natural extention. The harmony with the environment, inside the building becomes a dialogue with the landscape. Big openings and particular cuts on the roofing, infacts, allow the landscape to enter the building and to be part of it. The big window at the entry links the showroom with the rocky land outside, the window on the opposite side opens itself on the sea; the numerous skylights on the sky above. Furthermore, the pavillon image, strongly cut into facets, both inside and outside, reminds of the quartzis morphology, the most common mineral on the isle, very characteristic for his triangular crystalline structure. Following then a winding path that starts from the car-parking, the pavillon will come as a surprise to the visitors, asked to focus their attention to the landscape first, then to the sea and eventually to the new building. The exposition block will come as monolith thanks to the homogenic work on its surfaces and to the lack of openings. This surfaces are actually made of light concrete slabs coloured with a mix of local ground stone. An extreme spatial flexibility signs the pavillon from inside, since the paths themselves are the side for the exhibition. These paths seem to be engraved into the building-monolith and look like slopes with a nervous course up on two different levels on the same time: area for the exhibition and for the visitors flux. The lower hosts findings from the first period of the nuragic civilization ( X-VI century B.C., first Iron Age), the upper walk hosts jewlery belonging to the second nuragic period (V-II century B.C., second Iron Age). Eventually, a staircase with an overbearing volume, brings to the audio-visual room underground, a place that evokes the typical atmosphere of ancient hypogean rooms.
