For this project Gehry found inspiration in soaring glass-and-steel structures of the 19th century, including the Jardin’s own
Palmarium .(FIG1) The center’s design features a number of the hallmarks—voluptuous swirls, dynamic asymmetries, an
irrepressible optimism—that characterize Gehry’s earlier groundbreaking works. conceptual sketches showing how elevation and
plan of museum developed from inspiration foam of Jordin’s palmarium and Susanne yacht 1911. (FIG 2)
BASIC PLANNING of FONDATION LOUIS VUITTON MUSEUM is to keep private and public space separate from each by
creating buffer zone in between.(FIG 3).
Of course, museums don’t hang paintings on glass walls, so the architect and his team essentially conceived a
building within a building. The 46m-high abstract structure resembles a cloud, a chrysalis or a sailing ship and is
designed to blend into the natural surroundings of the park.
Having a total surface area of 11,000m² with 3,850m² of museum space, the building is built on the edge of a water
garden with a reflecting pool and a cascading waterfall.

Space organization and Circulation
Basic planning of museum is based on the segregation of private and public space.
The building has eleven galleries, an auditorium, the Grotto and terraces.
The sides of this near the reception area are fully glazed. One opens to the outside water cascade, the eastern side. The
auditorium can accommodate spectators 360-1000, flexibility achieved by a particular automatic seating configuration. Its
flexibility allows him to transform into an exhibition hall if necessary. With impeccable sound and light engineering is a
versatile space open to different events.
Although the galleries vary in square footage, height, and architectural flourishes—some are extremely tall and capped by
twisting light wells—the rooms all possess conventionally squared-up walls.

CONSTRUCTION DETAILS OF GLASS FACADE

The building structure is made up of an assembly of white concrete blocks or ‘icebergs’ that are enveloped by 12 huge
glass facades or ‘sails’. The curves and angles of the glass sails give the building a sense of transparency and movement.
as well as to reflect the surrounding water and greenery. The glass also allows abundant natural light into the building.
The glass panels are attached to the base structure using a framework made of 2,000t of carbon steel, 2,000t of high-
strength Duplex stainless-steel, 800m³ of wooden beams, 5km of rails and 10km of curving columns.
Even the flat enclosure glass was custom-cut along the unusual edge conditions.
The molds for these panels were custom CNC cut, from the BIM, for a precise and exact fit.
Each glass panel measures 1.5m x 3m and has a unique shape and curvature. AIKTC SOA I AD8

RAIN WATER USE FOR

CLEANING

CITY AND MUSEUM

“Our wish was to conceive a building that would evolve with the passing of the hours and with the changing light, so as to
create an impression of the ephemeral and of continual change,” says Gehry of this design.
In Paris, there's frequent precipitation. So economical use of rainwater is a natural design element in this climate. It will
also supply the water garden on which the foundation is set and be used to water the planted areas and terraces
Even the transport to the Fondation Louis Vuitton is green. There's an electric shuttle bus, the Blue Bus, that leaves every
15 minutes.
Top most floor of the museum have various transition spaces which visually connects museum with Paris skyline.
An institution that tangibly expresses the client’s commitment to art and culture, vis-à-vis 21st century architecture.

The museum can be entered from the park from all four cardinal points. Within the square building, a central circular
atrium links an entrance level with the three exhibition levels. These are arranged as terraces projecting further outwards
on each higher floor, forming an inverted pyramid. The upwardly projecting story's effect in each of the layers below a

As the dominant feature, the ramp offers perspectives into the entrance hall and exhibition areas. Whereas the first to third
floors are used solely for exhibition purposes, the fourth floor also contains conference rooms, research rooms, offices and
the library. 
A notable feature is the roof structure, which carries the weight of the floor slabs that hang from it.
Main museum space is surrounded by temporary exhibition area and rich landscape elements.

Structural details of Hanoi museum

• The building was stiffened against wind and earthquake stresses by four symmetrically arranged cores with a dimension
between axes of 8.4 x 8.4m. The cores are located in the corners of the ground floor, and that is where the stairwells and
lifts are positioned for vertical access.(From left side-fig 1)  For visitors, the effect is that, looking out, they seem to be
floating over the landscape.
• The floors are suspended from the roof structure via tension members in the structural grid, which is why the latter
(109.2m x 109.2m and 5m high) had to be produced immediately after the cores.(fig 2)
• The edges and inner areas of the roof structure were carried out as steel frames to reduce dead weight.(fig 3)
• As in the circular central space, this means they can be given a setting, thanks to the indirect lighting from the roof
lights arranged like windmill sails. (fig 4)

Privacy factor (silent vs. noisy ) AND City & museum connection
• Entire museum is designed on the basis of VIETNAM’s traditional architecture style i.e. steeped roof system but in a
inverted form and cross ventilation.One of the central realities when planning the Hanoi museum was the climatic
condition of Vietnam, which significantly influence life in the city, with high humidity and extremely hot summers. Initial
idea is to protect interior from excessive heat and sunlight.
• main circulation of museum is carried out through central ramp which is very noisy as compared with other parts of
museum.
• The freestanding museum is placed in the midst of an artificial park landscape with water basins and large areas for
outdoor exhibits, monuments and traditional villages in the style of old Hanoi.
• semi-transparent green glass sits behind ornamental panels, creating a gauzy and diffused facade that changes
depending on the direction it faces. indirect light filters through the exterior skin, providing large exhibition spaces
with a soft luminosity. AIKTC SOA I AD8
