Musée Hergé by Atelier Christian de Portzamparc
A museum dedicated to Belgian artist and Tintin author Hergé, designed by Atelier Christian de Portzamparc, opened earlier this month in Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium.An elongated prism floats in the forest while a footbridge connects it to the city. Vast bay windows seem to suggest comic strips spaces, while the prism offers a colorful oneiric and fancied hall.This large reception area accommodates the four exhibition volumes also linked with each other via footbridges.The museum features permanent and temporary exhibition spaces, a video projection venue, cafeteria, shops and studios.

There was an architect whose work was published in Progressive Architecture or some other design magazine back in the late 80s who used tintin-style graphics to illustrate his sketches. Would be interesting if anyone remembers who that was–and to compare it with de Portzamparc’s work here.
The cube, the colors, and the seaguls flying, is amazing, and I think in stay in middle of the brigde!
