The Inverted Pyramid, The Louvre Museum, Paris, France, April 2009

The inverted pyramid, hanged above a little stone pyramid, makes People excited; well people were getting excited not with the pyramids but with the gap between them. It would be known as a kind of modern sacred place, it doesn’t have any function it is just about entertainment and having fun.

هرم معکوس که بر بالای یک هرم سنگی کوچک آویزان است به شدت مردم رو به ذوق میآورد در واقع این هرم معکوس نیست که توجه مردم را جلب میکند بلکه این فضای کوچک میان دو هرم است که همه را به وجد میآورد. شاید بتوان این را نوعی فضای مقدس مدرن دانست، این فضا هیچ عملکردی ندارد اما موجب تفریح و شادمانی مردم است

The Louvre Museum :: Click for Previous

The Louvre Museum; the Louvre and its pyramid, designed by I.M. Pei, Paris, France, April 2004

Just came back from Paris that means next posts are from there. Surprisingly it was my first trip to Paris, so I’ll shortly express my preception about spaces that I visited in each post.

The pyramid is the main entrance of the museum, designed and built in 1980s; I heard and read a lot about it but when I get there I was amazed how well it is associated with the building and even creates a live urban space. It is celebrated not only by architects also by people and tourists. I think it would be named as the Crown of Louvre .

The Louvre’s pyramid is among Grands Travaux, or the grand projects, that President François Mitterrand initiated in different parts of Paris to fund and build contemporary, monumental and sometimes controversial buildings. His Grands Travaux is known as an audacious and courageous feat has been accomplished in Paris since the Baron Haussmann era.


دیروز از پاریس برگشتم در نتیجه عکسهای بعدی از آنجا خواهند بود
این اولین سفر من به پاریس بوده در نتیجه خیلی کوتاه تلقی ام را از فضاهایی که دیدم را در هر پست شرح خواهم داد
هرم شیشه در واقع ورودی اصلی موزه است که در دهه هشتاد و در دوره نخست وزیری میتران ساخته شده، مثل هر معمار دیگری درباره هرم لوور بسیار شنیده و خوانده بودم ولی با این حال خیلی تحت تاثیر این کار قرار گرفتم هم از نظر اینکه کار به خوبی در کنار ساختمان اصلی نشسته است که راستش برای من کمی غیر منتظره بود هم آن که یک فضای بسیار زنده شهری ایجاد کرده است. هرم آی ان پی هم بوسیله معماران و هم توسط مردم و توریستها بسیار گرامی داشته شده است. شبی که آنجا بودم به نظرم آمد که بیجا نخواهد بود که هرم را نگین لوور بنامند
فقط برای دوستانی که نمیدانند، در فرانسه نوعی سنت سیاسی هست که رهبران سیاسی در دوران قدرت شان یک فضای مهم فرهنگی در پاریس میسازند گمان کنم این سنت با نخست وزیر پمپیدو و با مرکز مشهور ژرژ پمپیدو بنا گذاشته شده است. ولی گمان کنم که میتران بعنوان یکی از فرهنگی ترین رهبران فرانسه که علاقه ویژه ای هم به معماری داشته با مجموعه ای از پروژه های معماری مشهور به
Grands Travaux
که هرم لوور یکی از آنها ست در این زمینه گوی سبقت را از بقیه ربوده باشد این مجموعه پروژه ها مهم ترین تحول در سیمای پاریس پس از مداخلات هاسمن محسوب میشوند
