Features: Based on the fundamental architectural elements of Jean Nouvel's works—light, color, grids, and details—this book introduces 25 architectural projects, design competition entries, and furniture design examples that Jean Nouvel believes represent his design philosophy. From new works such as the Lucerne Cultural Conference Center in Switzerland and the Nantes Court in France to contemporary classics like the Cartier Foundation in Paris and the unbuilt Infinite Building, each project will be illustrated with drawings and exquisite photographs. Through the author's descriptions of the cases and Nouvel's own explanations, along with supplementary introductions to Nouvel's career, his architectural goals, and his future vision, this book paints a complete portrait of one of the most creative and challenging architects in the world today—Jean Nouvel.
