Jean Nouvel is one of the world, leading architects. Principal of Ateliers Jean Nouvel based in Paris, he was the co-founder of the French Architect Movement Mars in 1976. Nouvel is an architect of concept and context, of dematerialization and image. His designs engage and respond to contemporary culture. Nouvel, most celebrated works include the Arab World Institute in Paris, the Lyon Opera House and the Cartier Foundation headquarters. The recipient of many distinguished awards including the Grand Prix d'Architecture 1987, the Equerre d'Argent (french building of the year) in 1987 and 1993, and in 2006 he won 'creator of the year' from Maison and Objet exhibition and the Arnold W. Brunner Memorial Prize in Architecture.
Sin duda alguna la escuela UCLA se viste de gala con la presencia de Jean Nouvel, es una lastima el no poder asistir a dicha conferencia, soy gran admirador de su obra y nunca he tenido la oportunidad de verlo en persona, tampoco he tenido la oportunidad de estar presente en una de sus obras, no pierdo las esperanzas de ir a una de sus obras o una de sus conferencias.
