The coming of Curia << 9/9 >>

The inner courtyard of the building does not exist in the earliest sketches and the grassy steps do not appear until the official drawings stage. On the other hand, the relationship of the building to the terrain and the way it is linked with the natural surroundings are of key importance. In the sketches, the building is adapted to the contours of the land, and although the inner courtyard eventually used is somewhat artificial, the grassy steps serve as a reminder of the overall form of the ground.
