Paris: Institut du Monde Arabe

On my last trip to Paris, I went to the Institut du Monde Arabe for the very first time. What a sight for the eyes! The architecture is intricate and so geometric.

How many squares do you see?

From the inside out.

The outside of the building is gorgeous and from the cafe terrace one has a beautiful view of the buttresses of the Notre Dame.

    I see the Picasa logo in the third form the top. I wonder if that’s where they got their design idea from.
