    Jean Nouvel burst onto the architecture scene in the 1980s by unexpectedly winning the commission for the Arab World Institute‘s building in Paris. Built between 1981 and 1987, the Institut du Monde Arabe (IMA) is a museum for Arabian art. Symbols from Arabian culture combine with high-tech glass and steel. The building has two faces. On the north ...

    This modern office tower overlooks the Mediterranean Sea, which can be seen through the glass elevators. Nouvel drew inspiration from Spanish architect Antoni Gaudí when he designed the cylindrical Agbar Tower in Barcelona, Spain. Like much of Gaudí’s work, the skyscraper is based on the catenary curve — a parabola shape formed by a hanging chain. ...

    To handle Spain’s hot sun, Nouvel designed Agbar Tower with a skin of adjustable louvers, which made climbing the skyscraper’s exterior walls a quick and easy task for daredevil stuntmen. Within the decade after well-publicized climbs, Nouvel had devised an entirely different residential design for the Australian sun. The award-winning One Central ...

    Completed in 2006, the Musée du Quai Branly (Quai Branly Museum) in Parisappears to be a wild, disorganized jumble of colorful boxes. To add to the sense of confusion, a glass wall blurs the boundary between the outer streetscape and the inner garden. Passers-by cannot distinguish between reflections of trees or blurred images beyond the wall. Insi...

    The Cartier Foundation for Contemporary Artwas completed in 1994, well before the Quai Branly Museum. Both buildings have glass walls dividing the streetscape from the museum grounds. Both buildings experiment with light and reflection, confusing the inner and outer boundaries. But the Quai Branly Museum is bold, colorful, and chaotic, while the Ca...

    Architect Jean Nouvel experimented with color and light when he designed the nine-story Guthrie Theater complex in Minnesota. Completed in 2006 and built in the historic Mills District on the banks of the Mississippi River, the theater is shocking blue by day — unlike other theaters of this period. When night falls, the walls melt into the darkness...

    Located in the SoHo section of New York City, the relatively small project at 40 Mercer Street posed special challenges for architect Jean Nouvel. Local zoning boards and a landmarks-preservation commission set rigid guidelines on the type of building that could be constructed there. Nouvel’s modest beginnings in Lower Manhattan hardly anticipated ...

    Architecture critic Paul Goldbergerwrote that “The building clatters; it jangles like a bracelet.” Yet standing directly across the street from Frank Gehry’s I.A.C. Building and Shigeru Ban’s Metal Shutter Houses, 100 Eleventh Avenue completes the Big Apple’s Pritzker Laureate triangle. The residential condominium building at 100 Eleventh Avenue in...

    When the new Philharmonie de Paris opened in 2015, The Guardian’s architecture and design critic, Oliver Wainwright, linked its design to a “gargantuan grey shell wrenched to and fro as if battered by an intergalactic skirmish.” Wainwright was not the only critic to see a broken StarWars extra crashed on the Paris landscape. “It is a tyrannical hul...

    The Gasometers in Vienna are four former gas tanks, each of 90,000 m³ storage capacities, built as part of the Vienna municipal gas works Gaswerk Simmeringin 1896–1899. They are located in the 11th district, Simmering. They were used from 1899 to 1984 as gas storage tanks. After the changeover from town gas to natural gas between 1969 and 1978, the...

  4. The Landmark project – “Millenium” Beirut, Lebanon. An architecture for living in Beirut. It is a question of urbanity, of echo. Not pastiche – renewal of vocabularies from previous eras. Not cloning – reproduction of the computerized model of office towers to the west. It is a question of having the right ambition.
