The architectural promenade reaches its goal in the roof garden/solarium--the path has ascended to the sky. The bridges and ramps of the Villa Stein de Monzie, the Villa Savoye, and the Palais des Congrès all culminate in a 'room' that is open to the sun and the stars.
Although the route through the Wallraf-Richartz Museum does not end in a roof garden, it is nonetheless noteworthy that the path ends on a large balcony platform in the shape of a cloud.
