JCDA的创始人兼负责人James Carpenter表示：“博物馆的西入口扩建工程被独立地切入景观中，这种欢迎姿态是由平放在地面上的玻璃弧线展示的，反映了上方的天空，而拱门本身在外面的天空上划出弧线。”
“The new West Entry and Museum expansion is discretely incised into the landscape,” said James Carpenter, founder and principal of James Carpenter Design Associates, “This welcoming gesture is announced by an arc of glass laid flat on the ground, reflecting the image of the sky above, while the Arch itself scribes an arc against the sky beyond.”
半圆形的封闭式玻璃入口缓冲了地下博物馆到达大厅的亮度。当游客进入时，明亮的天花板将视线引向Saarinen大厅的过渡点，完全遵循自然的规律。
The semi-circular, enclosed glass entry volume mediates the transition into the below-ground Museum Arrivals Hall, modulating brightness from outside to inside. As visitors enter, the luminous ceiling leads the eye down to the point of transition into the Saarinen Hall, by following exactly the slope of the natural landscape.
这种清晰的流线是通过西入口和博物馆到达大厅来保持的，在进入大厅的那一刻，游客可以看到中间的夹层：一个由密西西比河及其支流的大比例尺平面图激活的教育解释空间。再往下看，游客们看到了新展览的开始，这些展览通向修复后的Saarinen大厅以及可以到达拱顶的电梯。新的西入口的两侧墙壁上刻着主自动扶梯循环，两侧是连接夹层和下层的开放楼梯。夹层下面是一个开放式玻璃教育空间，供学校团体或特殊功能使用。
This clarity of circulation is maintained through the West Entry and Museum Arrivals Hall, where at the moment of entry, visitors can see down to the intermediate level mezzanine: an educational interpretive space enlivened by a large scale floor map of the Mississippi River and its tributaries. Looking further down into the new expansion, visitors see the beginning of the new exhibitions leading into the restored Saarinen Hall and the lifts that take the visitor to the top of the Arch. The main escalator circulation is carved into both side walls of the new West Entry, flanked by open stairs connecting to the mezzanine and lower level. Beneath the mezzanine is an open glass education space for school groups or special functions.
从室外来看，入口的主要轴线以其最小的结构为重点，这使得人们可以俯瞰博物馆，而后面是老法院，在两个地标之间建立了密切的视觉联系、新旧之间的对话以及两个城市之间一直没有的广阔的公共城市空间。
From the exterior, the main axis of the entry is emphasized by its minimal structure, which allows views down into the Museum while behind sits the Old Courthouse, establishing an intimate visual link between the two landmarks as well as a dialogue between old and new, and an expansive civic space between the two that has until now been absent from the site.
“开放的中轴线的概念基本上就是拱门本身所呈现的，”James Carpenter说，“所有的循环都是对称地将一个朝向或远离隐含的‘中心’，无论你是在穿过景观、新的西入口、新的博物馆到达大厅，还是从拱门的任何一条腿的底部退出。一个人在蜿蜒的小路上蜿蜒而过，捕捉到了上面风景的变化，也丰富了自己对下面内部空间和展览的感觉。
“This notion of the open central axis is essentially what the Arch itself presents,” said Carpenter, “that all circulation symmetrically moves one towards or away from the implied ‘center,’ whether you are moving through the landscape, the new West Entry, the new Museum Arrivals Hall, or exiting from the base of either leg of the Arch. One meanders upon sinuous paths through the site, capturing changing views of the landscape above as well as enriching one’s sense of the interior spaces and exhibitions below.”
