Inhabitat » Jean Nouvel’s LOUISIANA MANIFESTO (485 words)
French new wave architect Jean Nouvel is probably most famous for his L’Institut du Monde Arabe in Paris .
For fans of Jean Nouvel , I’ve just discovered that the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art in Denmark is currently housing an exhibition of the architect’s philosophy on life and design, entitled The Louisiana Manifesto.
Jean Nouvel attaches great importance to design that is in harmony with its surroundings, and his aim is to ensure that his architecture merges with the spirit of the place.
