Jean Nouvel (born 1945) is a French architect known for his bold, high-tech designs that challenge architectural norms. A master of context-driven innovation, his major works include the Institut du Monde Arabe in Paris, the Louvre Abu Dhabi, and the Torre Glòries in Barcelona. Nouvel’s architecture is defined by material experimentation, dramatic contrasts, and technological advancements, often creating immersive experiences through light, transparency, and dynamic facades. Awarded the Pritzker Prize (2008), he remains a leading force in contemporary architecture, continuously pushing the boundaries of form, perception, and urban integration.
