The complexity of the original design, due to the use of multi curved shapes as the basis of the overall structure is difficult to model, but having said that, the shapes in the building gives it a mysterious feel.
Utzon envisioned an interior similar to the cave in Tatung that houses many statues of Buddha, this idea of a canvases interior and the ramp system is central to his design for the museum. I intend to keep the interior and the canvases spaces as close to the original design as possible, but I have doubts about the ramp system in the building, although the original intend was to allow art work of large scale to be view in a continuous way, but the system makes it difficult for circulating the visitors, especially the ramps that are only meant for one person. Ideally the ramps will serve an aesthetic and functional purpose. But is it important to sacrifice a bit of the aesthetic aspect of the design for a bit more functionality? I'll have to say yes, but adding functionality doesn't mean it has to completely destroy the original concept of the ramp system. Apart from the problems with the ramp the original design and concept how the art work will be display works, but of course many other aspect of the design hasn’t been tested yet, things like how the light will work when the art work is a paint.
