Le Louvre

Le Louvre

Pei's pyramid. 13 Juin.
You may have seen Pei's work at Columbia, close to home uptown in New York. He did the addition behind Avery that cuts some light into that quadrangle between Avery, Schermerhorn, St. Paul's Chapel, and all that.

Essentially the same idea at the Louvre. The glass pyramid is actually a giant skylight to the huge new lobby they built below. Same deal at Avery, where they've got this cafe/study area down there. I mean, did they pay the guy for this?
