Louis Vuitton's Moving Bird and Fish Display at Changi Airport, Singapore

Luis Vuitton display at Changi Aiport, Singapore.

This stunning display greets you as you on the ground floor (level one they say in Singapore) of Changi airport after you have successfully shown your passport's face photo to a machine and had your thumb print recognised as you enter the airport departures. 

Beyond the white lights is the huge arch of Luis Vuitton. 

The wall around the door has a 3D effect and changes colour A flock of birds and fish swim past the sky, the sea.

The other shop

s, dozens of them, on more than one level, are 2D, conventional. This one stands out, catches your attention.

Actually, there are 400 shops and services. I didn't pass 400. Like most people, I passed this one because of its prime position. 

How do I know there are 400 shops and services at Changi airport? Because I had passed a sign telling me so, outside in the entrance hall.

Gehry in Paris and Prague

Problem
Frank Gehry is a world-famous architect. I was first impressed by his waterside building in Bilboa, wave shape, or sail shape.
I thought about curves in architecture. Nineteen Fifties architecture worldwide, both UK and China was oblong blocks. I like curves, curved walls, curved balconies, curved rooftops. Curves have appeared in different forms through the centuries: gothic arches in cathedrals; domes; art deco in the nineteen thirties; Italic script; mosques.
Where can I see a Gehry Building? What else has he done?

Answer
Bilbao - Guggenheim Museum on the waterfront
Paris - Louis Vuitton Foundation for Creation - with art exhibition until February 2017.
Prague - Dancing House containing restaurant and hotel overlooking river and hilltop castle on the other side.
Spain - hotel in the north in the Rioja region
Others in France, (Disneyland, Paris), Germany, Switzerland, Denmark, Hong, Kong, Australia. Many more buildings in the USA.

Story
A friend told me about her birthday trip to Paris when she visited a new Gehry building. When I saw the picture of it my interest increased a hundred fold. I thought of the old saying, a picture is worth a thousand words.



My friend put her picture of the museum she visited in a book celebrating her birthday trip to Paris.

Here's my picture of the Dancing House. See also my previous post on the Dancing House.
