Nouvel on show at the Centre Pompidou

Opening its doors on December 6 at the Centre Pompidou in Paris, a vast exhibition dedicated to the work and personality of Jean Nouvel. Without having either the intention or the expectation of a retrospective or of a scientific character study, this show offers itself above all as an ideas workshop, reflecting the plurality of approaches of the French architect, many times recognized as the father of high tech.

The entrance has been conceived as a sort of atlas, a space saturated with slide projections (from details to entire views). A selection of 23 projects illustrates instead the multiplicity of the typologies confronted in the Sixties to the projects currently underway: from the conference hall in Lucerne to the Institute of the Arab World in Paris; from the Guggenheim Temporary Museum of Art in Tokyo to the Quai Branly museum in Paris. While a photo reportage takes us inside eleven buildings.
In 2002 the show moves to Italy, Spain, the United States and Japan.
