Jean Nouvel Blog 1 – Gladvin George

This building is called the Louvre Abu Dhabi and it is designed by Jean Nouvel. Like the Louvre in Paris, the Louvre in Abu Dhabi contains many art collection. It is deemed to be the largest art museum in the Arabian Peninsula. As far as its design, I was completely mesmerized by the intricate-patterned dome. It is unique and sets itself apart from the other Louvre. When I looked at more pictures, it showed how the light would pass through the small gaps on the dome, giving the building natural light but in pockets. It reminded me off a night sky filled with stars. This is a very intriguing design which is absolutely fitting for an art museum.
