Artisans – Lenouvel

A R T I S A N S

The design, development, experimentation and refinement are established by an international design team under the helm of principal lead design firm – Ateliers Jean Nouvel, working hand-in-hand with international designers; Patrick Blanc, L’Observatoire International and Koichiro Ikebuchi to accomplish this architectural masterpiece.

Jean Nouvel

Principal Architect

As a laureate of the Pritzker Architecture Prize, Jean Nouvel, has received practically every important architectural honour. His design for the National Art Museum of China has been chosen in 2013, winning over the likes of Frank Gehry and Zaha Hadid. The Beijing-based museum has begun construction; and just like his other works such as the Louvre in Abu Dhabi and the Tour de Verre in New York, it exudes inventiveness and enigmatic interpretation.
