Jean Nouvel

Jean Nouvel is one of the most important architects of the modern era. His strong stances and somewhat provocative opinions on contemporary architecture in the urban context together with his ability to inject originality into all the projects he undertakes have formed the decorated architect’s international image. Jean Nouvel’s work does not result from considerations of style or ideology, but from a quest to create a unique concept for a singular combination of people, place and time. 

His contextual approach and ability to infuse a genuine uniqueness into all the projects he undertakes have consistently yielded buildings that transform their environments and indelibly mark the cities in which they are built, like the Arab World Institute, the Torre Agbar in Barcelona (Spain), the Guthrie Theater in Minneapolis (USA), One Central Park in Sydney (Australia), The White Walls in Nicosia (Cyprus), the DR (Danmarks Radio) Concert Hall in Copenhagen (Denmark) and more recently the Louvre Abu Dhabi (United Arab Emirates).
