I.M. Pei's Louvre pyramid connects the vast wings of the Louvre museum with a central location. The pyramid assumes a futuristic character while opening views to the surrounding historic palace. The pyramid's proportions relate to concepts like the golden mean and astrological diagrams. The pyramid's geometry and positioning within the site also reference concepts of gender, life, death, and the procession of democracy. The Louvre pyramid was designed with careful consideration of architectural symbolism and mathematical concepts.

Symbolic Meaning Of The Louvre, Paris France
 France
Benjamin BlankenbehlerAugust 23, 20150
I.M. Pei’s Louvre pyramid connects the vast
wings of the museum to one central location.
Most of the space is buried underground,
keeping the visual attention on the historic
palace.
Was Napoleon’s monument to
freedom Elephant of the Bastille a factor in
the design? Did astrology form the shapes and
arrangement? Johann Kepler charted
horoscopes using this same form, and related

4. it to profound scientific laws. Gender is also
seen by many in the upright and inverse
pyramids. The Louvre, in the heart of Paris,
fixes all the problems with Modernism. The
shocking form fits in because it was derived
by careful study and with thoughtful purpose.
A quick walk a modern obelisk, the Eiffel
tower, leads to the Arc de Triumph, copied
from ancient Rome. A straight line from there
leads to an ancient Roman obelisk, and
immediately to the Louvre.
I.M. Pei’s 1989 design for the Pyramide du Louvre at the
historic Louvre Palace in Paris France starts with architecture’s
most significant symbol: the pyramid. A tunnel descends into
structure like the ancient pyramids of Egypt.
The museum spans the entire history of mankind, and so the
pyramid itself assumes a futuristic character. Its transparent
materials achieve this futurism while opening views to the building
surrounding it, and opening natural sunlight into the front lobby. A
rather ingenious tension structure is holds the pyramid up.
The La Pyramide Inversée inverted pyramid has been made
famous by the Da Vinci Code. But this is just one element of this
enormous project, which takes more than a week to properly visit.
Procession To Democracy

5. Pei’s concept sketches show two axis. The first
runs through the park to the Arc de Triumph du
Carrousel. Here it meets another tilted axis,
which continues on into the Louvre. This Axe
Historique is the strongest site axis in the world,
extending through central Paris to the city’s
modern quarter.
This tilting of spaces at the Arc de Triumph and
the pyramid keeps the composition unified yet
unexpected.
In 1833, a column stood where the pyramid now
stands. A third axis tilts slightly as it extends
from this point on to the east. This third axis
extended to the Place de la Bastillewhere
a similar column was constructed in 1835 to
commemorate the revolution against King

6. Charles X.
The July column at the Place de la
Bastille replaced the Elephant of the Bastille,
which gives insight into the meaning of the
Louvre pyramid. The Elephant was a large
structure atop a fountain, which people could
enter through a staircase and walk around inside,
as with today’s Louvre pyramid. It was cast in
bronze from the guns captured by Napoleon in
his conquests. In Victor Hugo’s Les Miserable,
it housed the homeless children of the
Revolution. Run-down and despondant, it
symbolized the humility and determination of
democracy:
“There it stood in its corner, melancholy, sick, crumbling,
surrounded by a rotten palisade, soiled continually by drunken
coachmen; cracks meandered athwart its belly, a lath projected
from its tail, tall grass flourished between its legs; and, as the
level of the place had been rising all around it for a space of thirty
years, by that slow and continuous movement which insensibly
elevates the soil of large towns, it stood in a hollow, and it looked
as though the ground were giving way beneath it. It was unclean,
despised, repulsive, and superb, ugly in the eyes of the
bourgeois, melancholy in the eyes of the thinker.” -Victor Hugo
The Statue of Liberty in New York is a modern descendant from
the Elephant. Visitors walk into and climb a stairway up the
Statue, much like in the Elephant. The Louvre Pyramid achieves
the same kind of procession, and directly links to its axis in the
city. It therefore could assume the symbol of the poor and humble
class. The poor gain access to the wealth of the world in the
museum. History and art liberates the people.
Astrology

7. By 1850, the column in the courtyard was
replaced by two circles. Pei’s early sketches start
to resemble these two circles. Yet while
the inverted pyramid keep a circular outline, the
large pyramid is decidedly rectangular. Pei took
a square and fit another square inside it. How did
Pei get this geometric form? Astronomer Tycho
Brahe built the Uraniborg observatory based on
the classic chart of the four terrestrial elements.
He applied the four states of the four elements
(earth, fire, water, air) to the celestial sphere for
the first time, asserting a new idea that stars are
subject to change like anything else.
Tycho’s assistant, Johann Kepler applied this
building form to astrology. His rectangular
horoscope used tilted concentric squares that
look very similar to Pei’s form at the Loure. If
you lay the classic zodiac over the louvre
pyramid, you can see how it fits.
Did Pei look at Kepler’s horoscope for the
pyramid entrance to the Louvre? Compare the
plan-view of the Louvre entrance with Kepler’s
zodiac and the ancient astrology diagram:

8. A 90 degree triangle approaches the pyramid from the left side.
This T-square aspect pattern forms a trine, which is considered in
astrology to be “a source of artistic and creative talent.” This is
therefore an appropriate entrance to an art museum. The
Louvre’s entrance forms a trine. The 120 degree trine in the
musical scale indicates a perfect fifth step, which is the strongest
relationship of notes in music. The sun moves almost exactly 120
degrees on the summer solstice in Paris.
Kepler fit platonic solids inside each other. The
tetrahedron was surrounded by the cube. More
complex platonic shapes fit inside the
tetrahedron, until finally they formed a sphere.
This could be the background for Pei’s pyramid
inside the Kepler square. The inverse pyramid
fits inside a circle and the large pyramid inside a
square.
Pei said he used a pyramid because it was “the
most structurally stable of forms.”1 The pyramid
is glass so that it is only barely seen, an

9. intellectual suggestion.
The large pyramid touches a line between the top of the historic
palace and the inverse pyramid. Looking at it in plan view, the
edge of the large pyramid touches lines between the ends of the
palace and the center of the inverse pyramid. These lines of sight
suggest calculus that is used to derive perfect solids. They are an
intellectual manifestation of perfect forms.

10. The pyramid and square could be based on Keppler’s laws of
planetary motion. Kepler described the harmony of planets,
music, poetry, etc. with proportions. Kepler’s third law, that the
period of a planet’s orbit squared is proportional to the distance of
the orbit cubed, describes the harmony of motion and distance.
The pyramid volume is proportional to a line squared, and the
cube volume is proportional to a line cubed.
The inverse pyramid’s proportion to its outer circle is the same as
the earth’s proportion to the moon (27%). The large pyramid is
likewise exactly 27% the width of the courtyard. The front
entrance is half that distance from the front of the courtyard. Both
pyramids thus relate the size of the moon to the size of the sun.
Kepler applied the mathematics of the perfect platonic solids to
the epicycles of planets. Rejecting Ptolemic astronomy, Kepler
declared that the earth revolves around the sun, and that the
moon revolves around the earth, in elliptical orbits. He related
these proportions to various things, such as the structure of the
human eye. Indeed, if you overlay Kepler’s drawing of the eyeball
over the Louvre, you see that the proportions line up. The Arc de
Triumph aligns with the front of the cornea, the inverse pyramid
with the lens, and the large pyramid with the front of the optic
nerve. The hedges in the park even look like light rays
approaching the eye from the left. This is because the harmonic
proportions of the Louvre universally describe naturally occurring
systems.

11. Golden Mean
The pyramid proportionally relates a system of objects, so it is no
surprise that the golden mean is a basis for the pyramid’s size.
The golden mean determines form and distance. The golden
mean determines the pyramid’s size between the front and back,
and the left and right of the courtyard. The statue of King Louis
XIV, which is the endpoint of the park axis, aligns with this
proportion. The golden mean also relates the inverse pyramid to
the fountain edge.

12. The Louvre pyramid has the same slope as the Great Pyramid in
Giza, at 51 degrees. The significance of the golden proportion in
the Great Pyramid thus applies to the Louvre. It uses the golden
proportion to achieve its form. The procession into the front,
descending down into underground also follows the Great
Pyramid in Giza.
The summer solstice sun crosses just inside the Arc de
Triumph along the Axe Historique as it sets. The sun therefore is
of vital importance in this site axis. The setting summer sun
establishes a line of site between the statue of King Louis XIV
with the inverse pyramid:

13. Gender
The circle is traditionally female and the square male.
The inverse pyramid thus appears female while the larger
upright pyramid is male. Many are aware that the Louvre is a
metaphor for the chalice and blade. The chalice is the female
aspect of creating life and is represented by an inverse pyramid.
The blade is the male aspect of death and is represented by an
upright pyramid. This metaphor is strengthened when you
consider that the inverse pyramid is surrounding by living grass
and the upright pyramid by fluid water. The Egyptians believed
the waters of chaos must be crossed in the afterlife, and this is
why they placed their funeral upright pyramids near the river Nile.
Male/female relate to life/death and circle/square.
The entrance procession continues this gender language of
circles and squares.

14. The left spiral staircaseswirls in a circular motion, and on the
right side a linear staircase descends in strict right angles. The
Louvre’s free-standing staircase is a structural marvel, and its
unrestrained circular motion was not easily achieved.
I think this gender symbolism is the most significant thing about
the Louvre pyramid. Modernism seems intent on destroying all
gender in our architectural language, yet here is a stark example
of Modernism pushing ancient gender language. Its subtle power
is the stuff of mystery novels, yet it is not really understood.

Life and death are investigated as the pyramid plays with the
idea of above-ground and underground. The water fountains
reflect the blue sky on the ground and suggests an inverse
relationship. The clear pyramid allows light to fill the subterranean
space. Then, at the inverse pyramid, everything flips upside
down. The blue fountains take the form of blue sky and the
transparent pyramid fills into the building. Rather than the building
against a sky, it is the sky against the building. It touches a solid

16. form, a small pyramid, a polar opposite to the unsubstantial sky.
The roof of the Louvre palace can barely be seen from the inverse
pyramid, a visual connection that brings this dichotomy all
together.
This forces the visitor to investigate nature’s opposites. From
Keppler’s investigation of natural systems, to perfect proportions,
and natural opposite relationships, the Louvre makes the museum
visitor investigate natural law.
Massimiliano Fuksas borrowed Pei’s concept of glazed sky
intruding into building space. His MyZeil mall in Frankfurt swirls
glazing around the public space.
