Jean Nouvel – Giver of Forms by Philip Jodidio (Taschen Basic Architecture Series 2012) presents the essential works by the Pritzker-awarded French architect. The Taschen series is a handy, small-format, image-rich portfolio of books about the most influential architects and phenomena of the modern times. The book includes an introduction to the life and work of the architect; the major works in chronological order; information about the clients, architectural preconditions as well as construction problems and resolutions; and a list of all the selected works and a map indicating the locations of the best and most famous buildings.
Architecture serves to create a poetic situation, to bring forth the emotion that exists in everyday life.
