Fondation Louis Vuitton

Paris France

Architecture: Frank Gehry

The Fondation Louis Vuitton in Paris, designed by Frank Gehry and inaugurated in 2014, is an architectural marvel nestled in the Bois de Boulogne. Its design features twelve glass "sails" that envelop a central structure known as the "iceberg," composed of white, fiber-reinforced concrete. This innovative use of materials and form creates a dynamic interplay between light and structure, evoking the image of a ship's sails billowing in the wind. The building's integration with its natural surroundings and its pioneering design have established it as a landmark of contemporary architecture .
