Jean Nouvel is a French architect born in 1945 whose practice spans buildings, installations, and theoretical writings that interrogate transparency, color, and the relationship between structure and perception. Working across scales from domestic interiors to major cultural institutions, his designs often employ layered materials, strategic glazing, and chromatic intensity to dissolve the boundary between interior and exterior space. His work is rooted in postwar European modernism but consistently resists its visual austerity through sensory and spatial complexity.
