axis
The design features two access points based on the axes from the two adjacent important public spaces. The main and longer axis follows that of the Ponte della Musica by Armando Trovajoli and serves as the main entry point. The secondary axis is from that of the Foro Itlaico and provides an alternate entry point along a prominent bus route.
