  • The Fondation Louis Vuitton
    THE FONDATION LOUIS VUITTON A new ambition for LVMH's corporate patronage Created by the LVMH group and its Maisons in 2006 on the initiative of Bernard Arnault, the Fondation Louis Vuitton forms part of the art and culture patronage programme developed by the group for over twenty years. It also marks a new step driven by a renewed ambition: – A lasting commitment with the desire to become firmly rooted in a particular place and bring an institution to life over the long term. – A major philanthropic gesture towards the city of Paris with the construction of an exceptional building on municipal state property and the signature of a 55-year occupancy agreement with Paris city council. Driven by a desire to work for the common good, the Fondation Louis Vuitton demonstrates a clear commitment to contemporary art and looks to make it accessible to as many people as possible. To foster the creation of contemporary art on a national and international scale, the Fondation Louis Vuitton calls on a permanent collection, commissions from artists, temporary modern and contemporary art exhibitions and multidisciplinary events. One of its priorities is to fulfil an educational role, especially among the young. A new monument for Paris Frank Gehry has designed a building that, through its strength and singularity, represents the first artistic step on the part of the Fondation Louis Vuitton. This large vessel covered in twelve glass sails, situated in the Bois de Boulogne, on the edge of avenue du Mahatma Gandhi, is attached to the Jardin d'Acclimatation. Set on a water garden created for the occasion, the building blends into the natural environment, amidst the wood and the garden, playing with light and mirror effects.

Dr. Riklef Rambow Tag der Verteidigung: 02. Juni 2009 Acknowledgment My first words of gratitude go to my supervisor Prof. Führ for giving me direction and support. He fully supported me during my research, and created a welcoming and inspiring atmosphere in which I had the pleasure of writing this dissertation. I am indepted to his teachings and instructions in more ways than I can state here. I am particularly grateful to Prof. Karsten Harries. His texts taught me how to think on architecture deeply, how to challenge whatever is ‘taken for granted’ and ‘remain on the way, in search of home’. I am also grateful to other colleagues in L.S. Theorie der Architektur. I want to express my thanks to Dr. Riklef Rambow who considered my ideas and texts deeply and helped me with his advice at different stages. I am thankful for the comments and kind helps I received from Dr. Katharina Fleischmann. I also want to thank Prof. Hahn from TU Dresden and other PhD students who attended in Doktorandentag meetings and criticized my presentations. I would like to express my appreciation to the staff of Langen Foundation Museum for their kind helps during my visit of that complex, and to Mr.

For over 400 years now, the city has been the seat of the Dutch government. Since 1981, it is a royal city again and a city of peace and justice. The Hague is more than 750 years old and has, over the last century-and-a-half, developed into a large urban conglomerate, with a great deal of activity, cultural facilities and first-rate shops. From a town of 75,000 inhabitants in 1850, The Hague has grown into the third largest city of the Netherlands with almost 500,000 inhabitants. Owing to this late but explosive growth, The Hague has very striking architecture from the 19th th and 20 century.

Known all over the world for his buildings, many of which have attained iconic status, Frank Gehry has revolutionised architecture’s aesthetics, its social and cultural role, and its relationship to the city. It was in Los Angeles, in the early 1960s, that Gehry opened his own office as an architect. There he engaged with the California art scene, becoming friends with artists such as Ed Ruscha, Richard Serra, Claes Oldenburg, Larry Bell, and Ron Davis. His encounter with the works of Robert Rauschenberg and Jasper Johns would open the way to a transformation of his practice as an architect, for which his own, now world-famous, house at Santa Monica would serve as a manifesto. Frank Gehry’s work has since then been based on the interrogation of architecture’s means of expression, a process that has brought with it new methods of design and a new approach to materials, with for example the use of such “poor” materials as cardboard, sheet steel and industrial wire mesh.

El plan director trazado por OMA establece una batería de intervenciones, edificios residenciales, edificios públicos, aparcamien- tos, espacios públicos y una serie de funciones adicionales que generan un nuevo paisaje dentro del contexto urbano. El diseño se basa en el modelo de campus universitario, como disparador para generar una vida urbana abierta. Esto se debe a las condiciones particulares del sitio: un espacio vacío en el centro de la compacta ciudad de Breda, pero que también forma parte de un bolsón verde que sirve de recueste a la ciudad y que está definido por tres parques: el parque de Deportes, el parque Wilhemina y el parque Brabant. El espacio verde funciona como unificador de los diversos edificios que se erigen espaciados en el sitio. Además del plan, OMA proyecto uno de los bloques de viviendas y el aparcamiento. Este conjunto se resuelve mediante un borde de manzana macizo, que se conforma a partir del encastre y apilamiento de tres bloques, donde se desarrollan las viviendas y un volumen central vacío.
