Construction report on The Louvre Abu Dhabi, instructions below and outline is at the bottom.

Abstract(Optional)

Introduction

· Back ground information I plan to use to give an overview of the structure and create my thesis:

· Inspired by the domed roofs and geometric motifs of ancient Islamic architecture, but realized with contemporary materials and state-of-the-art engineering, the Louvre Abu Dhabi by Ateliers Jean Nouvel is a civilization museum that celebrates the past while looking toward the future.

· Louvre Abu Dhabi is a new cultural beacon, bringing different cultures together to shine fresh light on the shared stories of humanity.

· “He never does the same thing twice. You never see two buildings of (Nouvel’s that) look like each other,” explained Hala Wardé, a partner at Ateliers Jean Nouvel. “Working with situations – this is what he teaches – is to make every project specific to where it is in terms of all the context, including the cultural (context), the history and the place itself.”

· Potential thesis:

· The work that goes into creating such a structure is just as scenic as when its finished. We often only get to see the skeleton of the buildings themselves, but getting to know the contents of the team leading the project and how they execute it will help us to value the structure much more.
