Jean Nouvel
Jean Nouvel (born 12 August 1945) is a French architect.
Born in Fumel, Lot-et-Garonne, he was educated at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris. He was a founding member of Mars 1976 and Syndicat de l'Architecture. In 2005, the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art hosted a major retrospective of his works.
Proposed
- In February 2008, Mr. Nouvel agreed to design a rakish 45-story luxury condo tower in upscale Century City section of Los Angeles, California. The tower will be a very bold, modern design -- it will look like a transparent garden from most angles.
- In November 2007, Mr. Nouvel was tapped to build a new 75-story tower next to the Museum of Modern Art in Midtown Manhattan. The tower will house a hotel, luxury apartments and three floors (2nd, 4th, and 5th) will be used by MoMA to expand its exhibition space.
- In April 2007, Jean Nouvel associated with Marshall Day Acoustics Ltd win architecture competition to build a new Orchestra Hall (Philharmonie de Paris) in Paris, close to Cité de la Musique (opening in 2012)
- The Centre for Sustainable Development in Le Havre, France. Project including the construction of a 120 m high tower on a former seaport area.
Projects under construction
- A 20-story condo tower built on a parking lot at 11th Avenue and 19th Street in New York City. The tower is next to the Venus (mural) (1970) by New York painter Knox Martin[1] on the south side of Bayview Correctional Facility and will block the 10 story mural from view.[1] (Expected completion in 2009)
- Copenhagen Concert Hall - Copenhagen, Denmark (Expected completion in 2008)
