Since his stunning Institut du Monde Arabe opened in Paris in 1987, French architect Jean Nouvel has designed widely published buildings throughout Europe. This superbly illustrated volume - the first book to be published on Nouvel since the establishment of his new firm, Architectures Jean Nouvel - features approximately twenty-five built and forthcoming projects, including his most important commission to his Concert Hall in Lucerne, Switzerland, scheduled to open in August 1998.
