Home is where the heart is-31:Louvre v.s. Abu Dhabi



From newspaper that France's Louvre has inked a 30 year deal with Abu Dhabi to open a version of the museum in the capital of the UAE. Now, French purists, who say the museum is sacrificing France culture for US$1.3 billion in oil money. The deal opens the way for the Louvre Abu Dhabi to display thousands of works from some of France's best museums, such as the Louvre, the Georges Pompidou Centre, the Musee d'Orsay and Versilles. The works will be housed in a huge flying saucer-shaped museum erected on the Abu Dhabi waterfront and opening some time after 2012.

Home is where the heart is-30: Dubai architecture

UAE cities have been heavily influenced by the global urban style.80 percent of the UAE population lives in the coastal capital cities, leading social scientists to describe them as city-states. I like this square footage style of influencing the design and construction of buildings and structures within the sphere of Islamic culture. Not only with beautiful appearance but also has good natural ventilation design release fluent sense of space, more rare look at.

Cheers to myself dreamisz, work is hope!
