Video: Museum building in Hanoi: pyramid standing on the head

The structure, which looks like a huge hourglass, is the Hanoi Museum, reflected in the water. A unique building project was invented and developed by the German bureau GMP Architects. The building of the museum is shaped like an inverted pyramid, which is interesting in itself. It is reflected in the pond - and, as it were, doubles due to the natural "mirror".
The area of the museum building is 30 thousand square meters. You can enter from either side: there are 4 exits in the room. Floors 1 to 3 are exclusively for art exhibitions. The fourth (largest) includes conference rooms, offices and a library.
Outside, the building of the museum in Hanoi looks quite serious: right angles, identical ledges, clear lines. Well, unless this pyramid stands upside down - but this does not detract from its solidity: on the contrary, the structure hangs over the square and definitely shows who is the owner in this space.
And what is hidden inside this incarnation of the European rationality, in the cranium of the alpha museum? The complete opposite of external rigor and angularity. Looking at the floors flowing into each other, in life you cannot say that this smooth spiral-cyclical space is inside a clearly structured pyramid.
Well, grandfather Freud in the next world does not rejoice at his ideological followers in architecture. External orderliness and strict adherence to the rules also have that background: inside the museum building there is a continuous stream of consciousness and the kingdom of asymmetry.
One cannot but rejoice that the imagination of modern architects is practically inexhaustible (an example of this is the underground mansion and the house upside down), and their interesting projects invariably find connoisseurs.

To the surprise of scientists, this is not an island with a hill at all, but a giant pyramid created during the very first pi
