Architecture Review - Louis Vuitton tribute to Yayoi Kusama

It would be difficult if you have a more beautiful or fitting tribute to living artists, as one who was just at the Louis Vuitton flagship on the northeast corner of Fifth Avenue and 57th Street presents imaginable. The facade has been altered by some to honor and fully, Yayoi Kusama, the 83-year-old Japanese-American artist whose retrospective opened yesterday at the Whitney Museum. Kusama has in the front corner of the building, these vortices, obsessive distributed dots of various sizes, which have made them one of the best and most famous artists of the postwar period. They also agreed to design accessories, and Marc Jacobs for Louis Vuitton, and in shop windows. One of them represents Kusama itself, in a wax figure as supernatural life and stands back as a century-old tradition, dressed in pink mother-earth which works of art. But his contribution to the facade of the Louis Vuitton and architectural implications that should not be overlooked. Structure is used as his canvas was originally 11-story New York Trust Co. building, designed in 1930 by Cross Cross. Back in 2004, the facade has been completely re-designed by Jun Aoki, the 150th To commemorate the anniversary of Louis Vuitton, with interiors designed by Peter Marino similar. Aoki is a talented architect who is a virgin and almost priestly minimalism, which is fully in evidence in the Louis Vuitton 57th Street facade tends to favor - in the state. This faceplate is a steep waterfall, glass, white bone, accented with hints of sintering. The slight problem I had with her work on 57th Street is that the appearance of the immateriality find it almost feels fragile, a problem that is less obvious in his work on the other side, here and abroad. This inconsistency was resolved, however, at least for now, by the invasion of Kusama swollen bold black spots. Perhaps the best part of his speech is that it is the logical consequence of what is implicit in the design throughout Aoki: the front is a little thinner skins laid on the steel frame buildings. That being the case, the trial of Louis Vuitton will consider revisions as boldly into the future. This could result in the perception, in the transformation of the northeast corner of 57th Street, one of the most visible corners in Manhattan, in a different building every month.
