Proposta não premiada, da autoria de Zaha Adid, para a Ala Islâmica do Museu do Louvre.
Bellini and Ricciotti were chosen in a competition that also included Zaha Hadid and Coop Himmelblau. Their design will fill most of the ground floor of the Cour Visconti, a courtyard within the southernmost wing of the Louvre. A second underground level will be accessible from galleries created by Pei. A shimmering, undulating glass roof, made up of glass disks, will allow diffused sunlight to penetrate into the space.
It also offers visitors glimpses of the surrounding neo-classical facades. It is, say the designers, "architectural integration without violence." It is also a very open design with no superfluous circulation space. Instead linear benches are used to divide thematic spaces. Set to open in 2009, the $67 million project benefited from a $20 million donation from Saudi Prince Walid bin Talal.
