Hi,

I went to the exhibition a few weeks ago. Really interesting because the architecture of Louisiania examplifies so well Nouvel’s idea on architecture. The building merges with the amazing garden and embraces the sea shore. If you are lucky and get the sun, it’s a trully unique atmosphere that no other museum offers. A very approriate place to discuss architecture.
Don’t expect to see many models though. Nouvel don’t work that much with them so everything is mainly computer based. Plus some very interesting interviews where he explains his thoughts.

This man sounds like he took more than a few pages of thought from Frank Lloyd Wright.

“Jean Nouvel attaches great importance to design that is in harmony with its surroundings, and his aim is to ensure that his architecture merges with the spirit of the place”

I wish more architects thought this way. Wright was a genius.
