Seen head-on, the logic of Calatrava's tree-shaped piers becomes almost diagrammatic: a single trunk splits into two symmetrical arms, each one curving outward before resolving into the herringbone ribs of the aluminum roof they were built to carry. Rows of dark windows recede into shadow on either side, the museum's glass curtain wall barely registering against the brightness of the concrete. Lower in the frame, a second curve appears, the top of another pier beginning its own ascent, a quiet reminder that this fork is one of many repeating down the building's 220-meter length. The whole composition reads like an X-ray of the structure's thinking: load, branch, and the point where one becomes two.
