	Autodesk - Ateliers Jean Nouvel (Site not responding. Last check: )
		His boss, he explains, is architecture guru Jean Nouvel, owner and artistic director of Paris-based Ateliers Jean Nouvel and one of the most respected and well-known architects in the world.
		What's more, on nearly all the facility's projects Nouvel changes the design from what he originally instructed, and often those changes are voiced to Hartness and his colleagues just hours before they're scheduled to show final imagery to the client.
		"Jean Nouvel asked the project manager to imagine the façade was a Gaudí-esque head with long, wavy hair blowing in the breeze, and then he gave him a sketch he had drawn on a piece of scrap paper," Hartness recalls.

	Jean Nouvel (ARCHIGUIDE)
		Jean Nouvel preserves here only the external skin, heigthens the whole with a half cylinder sheltering rehearsal rooms and offices, and slips with the shoe-horn, into this casing, a shell surrounding the main room.
		Jean Nouvel comes to beach his dilapidated building as an echo to the barges forsaken downwards on the edge of one of the arms of the river Seine.
		Jean Nouvel a opposé un grand volume noir et opaque pour les salles de spectacle et des volumes attenants vitrés aux touches de couleurs vives.

	IranArchitect WebSite-Jean Nouvel Wins RIBA Gold
		Nouvel was active in setting up experimental and organizational groups: "Mars," the Syndicat de l'Architecture, and the Paris Biennale.
		Such élan can be found in the sweeping form of the conference center of Tours, or the shimmering glass matrix of the Fondation Cartier in Paris that introduces a play between the delicacy of fine strips of metal, the layers of surrounding trees, and the continual trompe-l'oeil potential of reflected glass.
		The sweep of this is highlighted by the sharp line of the edges of the sail and by the elegantly flat aluminum panels which reflect, 70 feet (21 meters) from the ground, the vibrations of the lake.

	Jean Nouvel at ArBITAT Architects
		Jean Nouvel's Tour Sans Fin was designed to be built near the Grand Arch at La Defense in Paris.
		Jean Nouvel has actually had many of his designs realized- including Paris' Arab Institute and Cartier Foundation, but the magnificent Endless Tower can only be seen now by renting an obscure movie and waiting for just a few priceless seconds and imagining what could have been.
		Jean Nouvel is certainly busy, getting comissions around the world, from Minneapolis to Barcelona to (as expected) France.

	Jean Nouvel: Louisiana Manifesto - Louisiana Museum of Modern Art - Absolutearts.com
		Jean Nouvel is the most famous of the generation of architects known as “The New Wave of French Architects”, all of whom participated, during the era of President Mitterand, in “Les Grands Projets” in Paris.
		Nouvel’s contribution, the Institut du Monde Arabe, 1987 (“The Arab Institute”) was one of these famous monuments, and it positioned him as one of the most influential figures in the French high-tech architecture movement.
		For Nouvel, Louisiana is an intimate and intense monument to this kind of thinking and that is why with this exhibition he uses the setting of the museum to visualize and pass on his thoughts about the nature of architecture.

		Jean Nouvel's buildings are impossible to ignore or forget.
		The loose focus of Nouvel and Baudrillard's discussion is the "singular object": an irreducible, irreplaceable, transcendent cultural artifact.
		Both Nouvel and Baudrillard believe that singular architectural objects are of the utmost importance, and they agree that any building that ignores the culture, time, and space where it resides, whether to please its owners or conform to conventions, cannot be singular.

	Jean Nouvel in Icon Magazine [Tesugen]
		Nouvel likes to think that sensitivity to to context – cultural, geographical or architectural – is one of the defining themes of his work.
		Nouvel’s philosophy of specificity reached its maturity with the Institute du Monde Arab – a building that offered architecture a way out of the dead end of post-modernism, while proving that a building could be modern without having to be Modernist.
		Nouvel describes how his current project, the Quai Branly museum in Paris, is “singular”, how it relates to a couple of different contexts, of which he names two: the program (“which is the indigenous civilisations in America, Australia and Africa”), and the curve of the Seine.

	Guthrie Theater by Jean Nouvel
		Nouvel was inspired by Minneapolis' industrial past, which is especially evident on the riverfront where the new theatre is located.
		The circular exterior wall of the thrust stage echoes the round grain silos of the area, and the large rectangle of the proscenium stage evokes the flour mills that were so important to the growth of the city.
		The new performance spaces were a collaboration between Nouvel, theatre consultants Fisher Dachs, and the Guthrie management, represented by Michael Gross, vice president of design and construction at The Keewaydin Group.

		In east Berlin, a new development of shops, offices and apartments by Jean Nouvel brings a very Gallic form of glamour to one of the main thoroughfares.
		The cones of empty space penetrating Jean Nouvel's department store in Friedrichstrasse are dramatic, but have more to do with the architect's play on the dematerialisation of the solid, 'to touch the infinite' - and with his interest in surface and texture as means of communication.
		Nouvel's play on transparency and opacity, his interest in using light to shape space and his games with perspective have been worked out in previous schemes, particularly in his crystalline design of the Cartier Foundation on Boulevard Raspail in Paris.
