What is arguably one of the most famous buildings is the Louvre Pyramid in Paris, France, designed by I.M. Pei in 1989. I.M Pei had been personally asked by the French President to oversee this project. Taking the job from other french architects, he faced lots of backlash and once he unveiled the plans, the international response was not kind. The creation of the Louvre solved an issue of a mass amount visitors, thus causing a bottleneck caused by too much people. The Louvre distributes people in an effective way based off of a villa in Pompeii. There is an urban legend that the Louvre consists of 666 glass panes, referencing the number of the beast, or satan.
