JEAN NOUVEL’SARCHITECTURAL APPROACH

He has created unique works that stand out in

different parts of the World.

«Architecture is to change a certain place in a

certain period with the will, desire and

knowledge of some people. Architecture is never

the work of a single person. We always create

architectural structures for a certain place, a

suspicious person or someone, but also for

everyone. We have to stop restricting

architecture by adopting a certain style. Our age

needs architects who are suspicious, looking

and never thinking of finding anything; self-

endangering, re-inventing the values of

experimentalism, invented while building, self-

amazed, the architects in his own window to

interpret and interpret the mold. Let's deal with

the cosmopolitan city of arrogant cities, the

architects who think they are estheticians.»

-Jean Nouvel

Clone Architecture

• He fully opposed to clone architecture, advocates the dedication of the architectural work and the understanding that it cannot be adapted to different locations. According to him, every problem in the process of architecture is original and architectural works must be unique like these problems.

• There is no architecture, quality or character that is everywhere and can sell itself.
