Entertaining design, though I imagine it would end up just as hated as the Louvre pyramid.

The Louvre pyramid is hated? Every Parisian I know loves it
Itβs only hated by angry online commenters in the US

Not everyone loves it, but it's certainly more liked than the Centre Pompidou. I personally don't mind either, they're both very interesting proposals, and they have a lot competition.
First time I hear that it is hated as well!

When the project was presented in 1984 it was universally hated by the French press. All lot of commentators said it would ruin and deface a national pride.
People have learned to love it - I personally think it's a fantastic addition to a unique site.
pretty sure with the right treatment using something akin to a Dichroic filter as has already been done with glass to keep the appearance of being glass limited to street level viewers. Plus there are countless ways to limit reflectivity on the exterior surface to keep from taking away from the old architecture
