Guess the Architecture! for 12/6/16

He'd never make it as an illustrator.

A bizarre Dutch windmill?

No idea. Parts of it are vaguely suggestive of the Sydney Opera House as might be seen from certain angles, but not really.

Agreed.

Rolling house of Dover. It rolled over from Holland.

Am I close?

Why does it look like all of these pencil drawings are being pulled out of some type of " learn to draw a building " book ?

Los Angeles opera house?

It looks like a warrior to me. My guess would be somewhere where a warrior like this would come from. Europe?

A1) -

A2) -

A3) Darth Vader?

So, what's the answer?

No one guessed the architecture this week. (Although oddly enough, someone did contact me privately with the right answer...)

This is the Louis Vuitton Foundation Center in Paris, France. The building was designed by Frank Gehry who intended the design to respond “to the setting of the Jardin d’Acclimatation, evoking the tradition of 19^th-century glass garden buildings, the role of the Jardin in cultural memory… and the desire to create a contemporary art museum that will be attractive and welcoming.”

In the spring of 2016, Daniel Buren changed up the façade by adding “a checkerboard of translucent colored gels, punctuated by panes of white stripes” in an installation called “The Observatory of Light.”

Shouldn't the Foundation be asking Daniel Buren for their money back?...
