The €150m satellite of Paris's Louvre museum shimmers like an apparition on the raised plane of the former coalmine, looking down over streets of pitch-roofed miners' houses, dotted with the occasional chip shop. The building is formed from a series of long, low-slung walls that fade in and out of view as the changing light dances over its surface – or as clouds of drizzle engulf it entirely in the wintry gloom. — guardian.co.uk

damn that SANAA is on FIRE!
but those exhibition spaces - it feels like sensory overload and deprivation (at the same time) what with all the white shiny surfaces and homogeneous lighting.
the phrase "erase the walls" uttered by the French museographer seems very apt.
