برنده جايزه پريتزکر 2008 معماری...

ژان نول، معمار فرانسوی برنده جايزه پريتزکر 2008 گرديد که بالاترين افتخار معماران است. اين معمار فرانسوی در مدت چهار دهه بيش از 200 پروژه در فرانسه، اروپا، آسيا و آمريکا طراحی کرده است.

.....
به گزارش بنا، نول 62 ساله که دومين فرانسويی است که توانسته اين جايزه ارزشمند را تصاحب کند به رويترز گفت : " از اينکه به جمع برندگان اين نشان ارزشمند پيوسته ام واقعا خوشحالم. من از اينکه در کنار بزرگان معماری همچون فرانک گری، رنزو پيانو، زاها حديد قرار گرفته ام بسيار مسرور هستم"
نول در سال 1987 با طراحی موسسه جهانی عرب ( Institut du Monde Arabe ) به شهرت جهانی دست يافت. وی سطح نماهای ساختمان های خود را بصورت انعکاسی از ابرها و يا پوشش گياهی طراحی می کند.

Jean Nouvel

(b. Fumel, France 1945)

Jean Nouvel was born in 1945 at Fumel, a village in the South West of France. He worked with an architectural firm while attending school. In 1975, he opened his own office and participated in several competitions.

Since he opened his office, Nouvel has worked to create a stylistic language separate from that of modernism and post-modernism. Rejecting the strict obedience to Le Corbusier that had stifled much of modern architecture, Nouvel initiates each project with his mind cleared of any preconceived ideas. Although he may borrow from traditional forms, he creates a building that stretches beyond traditional constraints.

Nouvel places enormous importance on designing a building harmonious with its site and surroundings. Although Nouvel relies on context to generate his designs, a certain continuum occurs from one design to the next. Within nearly all of his designs, Nouvel consistently presents an interplay of transparency, shadow, and light.

In 1981 Jean Nouvel won the competition for a series of "great projects" requested by Francois Mitterrand, the French President. In 1987 he was awarded the "Grand Prix d'Architecture" for his whole body of work and the "Equerre d'Argent" for his design work on minimalist pieces of furniture.

Jean Nouvel Tower Will Rise Next to MoMA

A planned 75-story tower at 53 West 53rd Street promises to change the face of the Manhattan skyline. The plans by architect Jean Nouvel were unveiled yesterday. The tower will rise next to, and expand, the Museum of Modern Art. Three floors of the building will be used by MoMA to increase exhibtion space. The rest of the tower will house a hotel and luxury apartments. The exterior of the building will be sheathed in glass and structural elements, giving the tower a crystalline appearance. Pre-sales for the project are expected to begin in late 2008.

Jean Nouvel Tower Will Rise Next to MoMA

...........................................................................................................................

The world-renowned French architect Jean Nouvel, whose designs have shaped urban landscapes across Europe since the 1970s, will present in Milan Corian Nouvel Lumieres, an exhibition featuring a large-scale, innovative, multi-sensorial loft-style environment (with kitchen, bedroom, bathroom and living areas), all made in DuPont Corian solid surfaces creatively interfacing with light and hi-tech solutions.

The futuristic, light animated loft environment in Corian designed by Jean Nouvel will be a culmination of the most significant design innovations pioneered by designers in this material over the past decade, and the technologically-advanced processes introduced by DuPont for Corian solid surfaces. By showcasing these possibilities in a large scale loft environment with kitchen, bedroom, bathroom and living areas, Corian Nouvel Lumieres exhibit conceived by Jean Nouvel will take the design evolution of Corian to a new dimension.

The environment designed by Jean Nouvel will also show the many ways Corian can interact with light, incorporating a variety of advanced lighting techniques, coloured back-lighting and moving light shows to highlight the material’s unique translucency. Other technical features such as heating membranes, domotic technologies and touch-control panels will be integrated, creating a highly interactive, multi-sensorial experience for visitors.

Winning project
Jean Nouvel
Concert Hall
Danish Broadcasting Corporation
Copenhagen, Denmark

On March 20th the Danish Broadcasting Corporation announced Jean Nouvel as the winner of the International competition for their new 1600 seat Concert Hall. The 21,000 square meter complex, part of the TV-network’s new Headquarters in Copenhagen, will include all facilities for Danish Broadcasting Corporation’s music production. The first competition, for the 110,000 square meter Master Plan, was won in 2000 by Danish architects Vilhelm Lauritzen A/S.
The project is scheduled for completion in 2006.

Nouvel’s design encloses a series of volumes, housing a different program or function, in a 45 meter tall rectangular box with transparent “screen” walls. The building will be constantly changing depending on the lighting conditions and the time of day; both revealing and concealing the interior. At night the building will light up with images projected on the “screen”. The architecture dematerializes and becomes a matter of light and surface effects.

The Concert Hall is raised ten meters above street level, with the upper Foyer under its “belly”, giving the impression of a big wooden sculpture. Escalators and elevators in the upper Foyer lead to the different levels of the Concert Hall.

The lower Foyer, with access to three smaller halls, is located four meters below street level. Offices and other functions are located around the halls in the northern part of the complex.

This is the first time a major architect has been commissioned to design a building in Copenhagen since Nicolas-Henri Jardin 250 years ago introduced the latest architectural style, Neo-Classicism, to Denmark.

The other foreign architects who were invited to participate in the Concert Hall competition were José Rafael Moneo, Snöhetta and Rafael Viñoly.

With new projects in Prague, Minneapolis, Pittsburgh, Tokyo, Guadalajara, Madrid and now Copenhagen Jean Nouvel has joined the tiny number of architects who build across the world. In 2001 Nouvel was the recipient of the Royal Gold Medal for Architecture, the Borromini Prize and the Praemium Imperiale prize, awarded in Tokyo.

Last week Nouvel won the commission to design the $90 million expansion of the Carnegie Science Center in Pittsburgh, scheduled to open in 2008. The project will transform the gray, metal-clad building into a light-filled, transparent structure cantilevered over the Ohio River.

Nouvel also recently won the competition for the new $125 million home for The Guthrie Theater in Minneapolis; one of the most important regional theaters in the United States. The drawings released by the Guthrie suggest a combination of materials and geometric shapes, softened by shiny steel cylinders that refer to the shape of grain silos.

Nouvel's architecture seeks to suppress the physical qualities of building, in favour of dematerialization and surface effects.

“Most architects want to make something exist.... my problem, my headache, is to eliminate all I can..... make things none existent....”
Jean Nouvel

For the Musée du Quai Branly, scheduled for completion in 2004, the main building in fact, rather than revealing itself, seeks cover behind a glass wall and a garden designed by Gilles Clément. “A sacred forest” of creepers and grand oak and maple trees with clematis and wisteria linking the trees together.

Model of Musée du Quai Branly

To date the best known of Nouvel’s building is probably the Institute du Monde Arabe in Paris (1987). Sited on the south bank of the Seine, it comprises two intersecting blocks, one curved and facing the river, the other rectangular and facing south. In the south-facing wall, between sheets of glass, metal irises in traditional Islamic patterns, open and close to control the daylight entering the building.

The facade of the Fondation Cartier in Paris, a series of overlapping planes of glass, makes it difficult to see where the building begins and ends, and the 60 floors high Dentsu Tower in Tokyo, with its crescent shape and glass skin, seems to floating in mid-air. When approaching the Cultural and Congress Centre (1999) in Lucerne from the lake side one experiences the same sensation of transparency.

With the 1993 remodeling of the Lyon Opera House and the restoration (1999) of L’église Sainte-Marie de Sarlat Nouvel showed that he was quite able to work with the grain of a historic monument.

The Centre Pompidou recently gave Nouvel a space usually reserved for major art shows and he responded with an exhibition as little like a conventional architectural event as possible.

Nouvel had the whole space painted black to dramatise a series of intense photographic images at every scale. The exhibition will be at La Triennale de Milano, Italy from March 26 - June 2, 2002 and will later travel to Spain, the United States and Japan.

Black seems to be a favourite trick of Nouvel's. He dresses in black, his Courthouse in Nantes is relentlessly black and his design for an exhibition of Brazilian art, at the Guggenheim New York, involved painting the whole of Frank Lloyd Wright's light-filled spiral black. Jean Nouvel is an architect of concept and context, of dematerialization and image. Indisputably original he continues to elaborate a body of work in synch with the spirit of the times.

P.S. And then there is Prague; The Golden Angel inaugurated in 2000 and a new project in collaboration with Frank Gehry.

Leaves, by Nouvel

Jean Nouvel - Louvre Museum, Abi Dhabi, United Arab Emirates

Approaching the Louvre Museum in Abi Dhabi from the city, the white, low cupola seems a flattened echo of the round cupolas found in Arab architecture.

Approaching from the water, the shaded space shows its scattered light, which continues the sparkling light of the water onto the architecture.

On a more abstract level, the museum is a ‘city’ with houses, streets and plaza’s that is ‘protected’ from the sun by a Buckminster Fuller kind of dome. If we fold it a bit further: if ‘protection’ becomes ‘conservation’, we could also read in it all a small Pompeii. The cupola becomes the ash that conserves a civilization.

This latter reading is a beautiful one, as it is abstract metaphor of the essence of a museum like the Louvre: exhibiting what is conserved. In a way a museum represents the selection of those things we value enough to preserve is.

The Pompeii iconography also means that one walks in an excavation-site, an exciting place where new things can be found around every corner, behind every door, triggering curiosity. When everything becomes a theme park, this museum is probably the subtlest one of all.

Ironically the building also represents a ruin, in its original state.

Jean Nouvel - Louvre Museum, Abi Dhabi, United Arab Emirates

Caught in a wave of enthusiasm about this stunning design, I forget to tell you that its designer is French – Jean Nouvel. The fragmented layout of the building is a feature that more of his works have, and his fascination with glimmering surfaces is apparent, but all together it is one of the most amazing architectures I have seen in a while.

We have seen Zaha Hadid aerodynamic stuff; it is time for something else. And Jean Nouvel career seems to have made a promising turn after the controversial ‘penis’ in Barcelona and the ‘Disney’ Musée du Quai Branly museum in Paris. The Louvre Museum in Abi Dhabi is however very, very promising.

If we proceed into the building the iconography shifts. The most dominant iconography is that of leaves filtering the sun.

Secondary iconographies include: a disco-ball, a cracked egg, and the Pantheon in Rome.

The beautiful cupola made me think of defensive architecture. Could such a big construction also be at help against (urban warfare), such as mortar fire and/or small rockets – could a UN-post in Darfur (Congo) be secured by a couple of such protective domes? If so, the construction could maybe even lowered onto the ground in case of emergency, and lifted upwards when violence decreases, representing directly the state of peace-keeping.

Rock, by Nouvel

Jean Nouvel - Port of Vigo, Spain (Copyright Jean Nouvel Ateliers)

This week it was announced that Jean Nouvel Ateliers have won the competition for the restructuring of the port of Vigo, a small city near the coast in the west of Spain. And the Paris-office of Nouvel has allowed Eikongraphia to publish the images.

The design is mainly an urban plan, but here hat has to be mentioned here is the remarkable object at the end of the pier. It’s a rock!

The architects write (in French, but here translated): “At the end, a monolith marks the end of the pier which seems part of it. Its altitude is close to that of the Aguia Mountain and the high points of the relief of the town of Vigo, acting by its membership to the local geography.” A monolith made of material that makes up the city and its surrounding landscape: granite.

It’s context, context, context, context. And it is beautiful.

In fact, the whole pier is made up from granite, making the tower part of the ground, a man-made volcano if we stretch it. An inhabitable mountain. And as granite is highly popular by climbers, maybe even the next location of the next European climbing competition?

The ‘rock’ is programmed with a hotel, and a restaurant in its top. The atrium inside has a form that also has to recall the idea of the monolith.

Another nice feature of the design is the ‘water garden’. It looks a bit like a crater left by a bomb, but on closer look might just work great. The differentiated levels of the pier here are supposed to move with the changing water level of the lake, echoing the natural erosion of its surrounding landscape. But imagine to chill out there!

CHELSEA RESIDENCES BY JEAN NOUVEL

"Nothing has ever been built like it in NYC," says Jean Nouvel's publicist of a project the French starchitect has designed for 19th Street and the West Side Highway, and though it's a publicist's job to say that, she might actually be right.

Nouvel

..........................................................................

Jean Nouvel describes his proposal for a tower with residential living on 110 11th street in NY, USA as „a vision machine“. The building is noted for rounded wall a using diverse colourless panels of glass, set together in different angles and turning. 1650 panels on a 23 story structure just confirm amazement from proposal. Cover of building is behaving every hour or day variable and this game means

-----------------------------------------------------------------
we met jean nouvel in milan on april 16th, 2007.
-----------------------------------------------------------------

what is the best moment of the day?
I am a night bird so I prefer the evening and the night.

what kind of music do you listen to?
I listen to the music my girlfriend prefers because
I can discover a lot of things. I must say that I love
the human voice. I like opera, religious songs,
for example french 11th century polyphony -
the 'chante de l'ecstase'. but also singers,
for me the human voice is the most emotional thing.

what books do you have on your bedside table?
'the book of disquiet' by fernando pessoa,
because it's so peaceful. it is a permanent lesson of
philosophy and when you are a little bit too busy like me,
a little bit excited, it is necessary to have this kind of let go.

do you listen to the radio?
in the car.

where do you get your news from?
I am a paper eater! everyday I buy the daily newspaper.
every week all the weekly magazines because I travel a lot.

I guess that you notice how women dress,
do you have any preferences?
sometimes it has to be casual sometimes it has to be more
elegant. it depends on the moment.

what kind of clothes do you avoid wearing?
I am always in black so it is very easy.
I avoid everything else.
black in spring, autumn and winter, but in the summer months,
when I am in the south of france, I wear completely white.

do you have any pets?
not really.
some mosquitos! (laughs)

do you discuss your work with other designers?
I discuss architecture with a lot of my friends because
I work with a lot of consultants and I organise advisors
with whom I have recurrent discussions with over
long periods. we think similarly and understand
each other. for every project I find the right team of consultants
to do different things, ... but in france we don't have a
'salon of architecture'.
it's a pity.
I think the spirit of everyone is to be alone.

where do you work on your projects?
in my bed, around the table in restaurants with
everyone talking, and sometimes at the big table in
my office also. there is something very alive in this
contrast between big meetings of brainstorming
and after, alone in the silence. I spend a lot of time
in silence.

could you describe your style as a good friend
of yours might?
my research is always around the idea of specificity
and I don't like to repeat the same vocabulary or to
do the same architecture on every spot on the earth.
I always research good reasons to do one thing in
a specific place, one thing with these people and
all the good reason to create something unique.
matter and light is the big question of the epoch and
the meaning of the world.
you have to work and every work has to ask a question
in these dimensions.

can you describe an evolution in your work from
your first projects to the present day?
I am not in the best place to see that. I think it is always
the same brain, the same feeling behind the work
so I research every opportunity to do something in
one way and not in another but I always have this
question of 'identity'.
I would say 'modification of space', for short or long
periods, to create a kind of 'little world' at the same time
to extend the known world.

can you go more into detail?
it is important is to consider that each place is a stage in
a mutation. but there is also a geographic and historic
continuity.I prefer projects that begin with the idea of
modification rather than disconnecting from the context.
my attitude is not modest. I always wish to do a project
full of simplicity, delicacy, depth.
projects which maintain the spirit of the location,
the desire of people, of the city or countryside,
of the buildings that came before it.

where is ethics in architecture?
there is the desire to analyze and understand the world.
but this should not prevent us from expressing something,
from inventing, and in that sense 'utopia' is a part of our work.
I think now with all the cloning and repetition of
the same buildings across the world, the world has
become smaller and smaller. I think we have to evolve if
it's possible to create differences.
not for the sake of it, but 'differences' as signs of deeper
understanding.

are there any architectural works from the past that
have influenced you particularly ?
I am very sensitive to the 'architectures of light',
the many cathedrals and the churches of the 11th and
12th centuries, for example, the 'saint chapelle' chapel in paris,
or much later, the 'maison de verre' by pierre chareau.

and those architects still working today...
of course, of course a lot.
it is always a difficult game because I can give you ten names.
after that, why ten and not eleven?
it is a big question.

do you have any advice for the young?
no I do not like to give advice.
every person has his own reasons, would need to to analyse
them and find his own path.

so you don't teach?
I refuse to teach, always.
I am the son of two teachers and for me to teach is a
very very difficult job.
you have to try to know your pupils very well and to
push them to their own epanouissement (blossoming).
I find lecturing very difficult, the only thing I can consider,
an effective way to teach a little bit, is in a workshop -
to have people working with me. afterwards they can use
their acquired knowledge with their own judgment and
choose their own working relationships.

is there anything that you're afraid of regarding the
future?
I am not afraid of the future, no. I don't care about
the future. I care about the present.
on a political level there are some issues which are
important and some which are not, but I am optimistic.
I think that the story of humanity can go in the right direction
and it does not always need to go in the worst way.
