Paris, Département Paris, Région Île-de-France Musée du Louvre: Louvre Pyramid by I.M.Pei Vth Republic (1958-present) 1982-1989 |
Comments: In postmodern architecture the pyramid shape is enjoying a remarkable renaissance worldwide. The most spectacular example is the glass pyramid which now forms the main entrance to the Grand Louvre. The source of inspiration is obvious - Giza Pyramids. |
