In order to unite the dissimilar buildings, the project proposes the construction of a new tower which will provide the museum with a new identity of its own. For the same reason, a former courtyard will be roofed with glass and transformed into a foyer which, together with several new building volumes, will unite the complex in a single flow.

The project also proposes a promenade which will wind from the garden, with its ongoing archaeological excavations, past the museum and up into the tower, so that not only the museum's visitors, but also the town's citizens, can have history presented to them as they pass through the town.

The new buildings possess a modern geometry, but the material is natural stone from Bari, which harmonises naturally with the original. The relief pattern of the facades adds a sense of identity to the new property, while at the same time creating a subdued illumination indoors which is appropriate for the atmosphere of an archaeological museum.
