Musée Louvre-LENS Designer: Imrey Culbert, Sanaa, and Mosbach Paysagistes
Location: Lille, France
 The highly anticipated ground breaking for the Louvre LENS recently took place on December 4, 2009 atop an abandoned mine field near the city of Lille in Northern France. Co-designed by New York-based Imrey Culbert, Tokyo-based Sanaa, and Paris-based Mosbach Paysagistes, the new branch of the Louvre will span 300,000 square feet of new construction, devoting over 75,000 square feet of galleries and visitable storage areas for hundreds of treasures from the Louvre’s collection. → bustler.net Posted: 01/11/2010 digg | del.icio.us | stumble | email this
