Fondation Louis Vuitton — Frank Gehry Glass Canopy, Paris

4 October 2017 · Paris

The Fondation Louis Vuitton seen from below, where the overlapping sail-like glass canopies dissolve into pure geometry. Frank Gehry's deconstructivist logic is most legible here — not as spectacle from a distance, but as a dense layering of structural steel ribs, exposed timber trusses, and curved glass panels held against a pale Paris sky. The building reads as sculpture at this angle; the architecture and the abstraction are the same thing.
