Jean Nouvel Jean Nouvel (French: [ʒɑ̃ nu.vɛl]; born 12 August 1945) is a French architect. Nouvel studied at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris and was a founding member of Mars 1976 and Syndicat de l'Architecture. He has obtained a number of prestigious distinctions over the course of his career, including the Aga Khan Award for Architecture (technically, the prize was awarded for the Institut du Monde Arabe which Nouvel designed), the Wolf Prize in Arts in 2005 and the Pritzker Prize in 2008.[1][2][3][4] A number of museums and architectural centres have presented retrospectives of his work.[5][6] Family and education[edit] Nouvel was born on 12 August 1945 in Fumel, Lot-et-Garonne, France.

Louvre Abu Dhabi The Louvre Abu Dhabi is a planned museum, to be located in Abu Dhabi, UAE. On Tuesday 7 March 2007, the Louvre in Paris announced that a new Louvre museum would be completed by 2012 in Abu Dhabi,[1] with a revised estimate in early 2013 for a completion date of 2015. This is part of a thirty-year agreement between the city of Abu Dhabi and the French government. Artwork from around the world will be showcased at the museum, with particular focus placed upon bridging the gap between Eastern and Western art. History[edit] The establishment of this museum was approved by the French Parliament on 9 October 2007. The museum will be part of a US$27 billion tourist and cultural development for Saadiyat Island, a complex which is planned to include three other museums, including a Guggenheim Museum[5] and the Zayed National Museum .

LOT-EK has achieved high visibility for its sustainable and innovative approach to construction, materials and space, through the adaptive reuse (“upcycling”) of existing industrial objects and systems not originally intended for architecture. LOT-EK APPROACH Our sustainable approach to construction through upcycling has been the basis of structural projects at all scales.
The Louvre, Abu Dhabi—Jean Nouvel’s Dome In The Desert Transcends The Cultural Divide The powers that be in Abu Dhabi have long since realized that their extraordinary oil-fueled expansion will eventually require a solid economic back-up from a source other than the black gold beneath their sands. As in Dubai, it appears they are determined to plug any potential holes in their long-term financial plan with the banknotes of tourists and foreign corporations… and cultural assets form the next phase of their strategy. To this end, a trio of museums have been slated for the city’s cultural district, each with a predictably recognizable architectural orchestrator: Norman Foster’s Zayed National Museum and Frank Gehry’s new Guggenheim are both on their way, despite misgivings in the art community over the welfare of foreign laborers constructing the latter museum. First, though, I cast my beady eye over Jean Nouvel’s new Louvre Museum, the first branch of the famous French institution outside of Paris.
