Marble House: Hunt's Beaux Arts design for William Kissam Vanderbilt was one of the first stone mansions, and started a trend toward very large homes in Newport.
•
William Kissam Vanderbilt's Marble House in 1888 introduced stone as a building material, Beaux Arts as a style, and set a new standard for size.
It was designed in the Beaux Arts style; meant to rival the extravagant mansions in Newport, Rhode Island.
Born in Da Lat, Vietnam in 1938, Gilles Larrain, the great great grand son of Paul Blanchy, first mayor of Saigon from 1895 to 1901, and the first producer of pepper in Viet Nam, started in education at the Lycée Français de New York from 1954 to 1957, before who went through the École Nationale des Beaux-Arts (architecture), in Paris from 1960 to 1965, and one of the pioneers in kinetic art in the 1960s, using air, smoke, light, water and neon tubes.
Its classicizing design fit in harmoniously with the "White City" that ushered in the American Renaissance movement and the age of Beaux-Arts architecture.
