..paris..

The Louvre is re-shaping itself again. First it was I.M. Pei's contreversial pyramid, now it's this cool structure to house the Islamic Art collection in the museum's courtyard. This floating carpet strucutre (alibaba goes to paris) is the winning design (by Mario Bellini and Rudy Ricciotti)!


This design was also a runner-up and worth showing...it is by zaha hadid.

why doesn't toronto have such cool plans?? oh wait, it does! love it or hate it, liebskind's ROM re-design plan IS very cool and different.
