Frank Gehry's latest design for the Louis Vuitton art museum in Paris is currently in construction and if the renders are anything to go by, it will be a dramatic and iconic piece of architecture.
Though many question the actual functionality internally and how it acts to serve the public realm, the public and non-architecturally trained will no doubt enjoy it and see it as an icon regardless of its usability.
The move from titanium to glass also works in favour of it having a greater structural purity and I hope that the structure will be better revealed. I can't wait to go see this!

The museum was created at a cost of €100 million, so visitors can expect to see the LVMH group’s luxury style to be continued in the form of its museum. However I visited the LVMH museum before couple of month just before my niagara falls tours from Toronto. This place is a mad house full of shoppers. The staff was incredibly nice and happy despite the offensive of visitors.
