Designed by architect Frank Gehry, the cloud-like structure of the Fondation, is composed of thousands of curved glass panels. These 'sails' create a sense of movement and transparency, blurring the lines between interior and exterior. Explore how natural light transforms the galleries, and photograph the interplay of glass, light, and architecture.

Built in 2014, the 'Iceberg' is the white, solid center of the Fondation Louis Vuitton, different from its glass sides. Picture white panels, glass windows, and big columns inside this core, a striking contrast to the transparent exterior. Inside, you can see how light and shadows play, and peek at other galleries and outside views.
