^ Please stick English ONLY here in the international sections of SSC! It's a rule. Thank you.

Great updates again btw. It's another typical Gehry building, but one of the nicer recent ones.

The construction techniques used there look very unique, or at least very uncommon. I keep wondering how the structural loads of all the glass panels are distributed.

Are indoor renderings or floor projection drawings available?

@ suburbanist: I'm afraid this won't be very useful to you though...hard to find indoor renderings...

Frank Gehry has designed a building with a strength & an innovative spirit that symbolise the objectives of the Fondation Louis Vuitton pour la création. This edifice is the very first artistic statement of the foundation.

Frank Gehry's initial sketches reveal a building in motion

The architect imagined a magnificent vessel among the trees

Quote:

"With the Bois de Boulogne and the Jardin d'Acclimatation, the idea of a glass pavilion at once became a must. It seemed to me out of place to design a solid object: my quest was to express the idea of transparency." Frank Gehry

The glass roof os the Grand Palais, a symphony of curves & transparency, served as one of Frank Gehry's sources of inspiration.

Quote:

"Galleries connected by walkways, escalators & staircases inside the glass structure will allow visitors to take in the view of the surrounding woods & the landscape beyond."
Frank Gehry

This building is going to look breathtaking but I wonder how functional it will be. Lots of small windowless rooms with lots of wall surface. This might work for exhibition space where walking in weird paths is actually an interesting experience but what about the research, archive and education space? I can't really imagine how that was included in a well designed and functional way (functionality is actually a key feature of good design, not just the looks alone)
