The building is a long, flat isosceles triangle which will engage a dialogue with the Lyautey residence.

The choice of this shape is explained in three axes on the site: Franklin Roosevelt Avenue which faces the city in the earth, the park in the north, and the Lyautey Residence and formal gardens in the south-west.

The images of the interiors show a unity of earth sciences and archeology under one roof following a chronological field of 4,5 million years of Moroccan history. The northern side of the triangular building will house the emergence of man; the eastern side will contain earth sciences; and the western side will be dedicated to the historical events until the contemporary era.
