Rossi’s late museum in Maastricht, known for its brick volumes and rocket-like dome on the Meuse. Simple geometries and a landmark cupola turn typological memory into a civic museum silhouette.

Highlights

  • Dome — How does the tower-like top work on the river skyline?
  • Brick exterior — Does material unity make the building feel monumental?
