The aim of this collection is to offer a series of short monographs which, though brief, nevertheless deal with all aspects of the master's personality: works, constructed or otherwise, primary written sources, critiques and photographic interpretations. The underlying aim is to offer an in-depth, comprehensive overview targeted at anyone interested in learning about architecture including students, professionals or simply those who are interested in the subject, by providing not only basic information but also guidance in terms of gaining more insight into the subject. The volumes are dedicated to some of the best known modern and contemporary architects.
French architect, Jean Nouvel, excels in creating buildings which are defined by their shimmering transparency, their enigmatic use of light and color and their poetic use of modern technology. Here his most impressive works are included: Commercial centre Euralille, Lille; Fondation Cartier, Paris; furniture design; Galeries Lafayette, Berlin; Culture and conference centre, Lucerne.
Nouvel is the most important and original contemporary architect of France. He worked together with Jodidio for five years, resulting in two 400-page volumes providing the most complete overview yet of Nouvel's work.
