The design of Le Nouvel was conceived and developed by Pritzker Architecture Prize Laureate, Jean Nouvel the lead design architect for this development, in collaboration with Dr.Patrick Blanc, noted French Botanist and LandscapeArtist, Herve Descottes, the international lighting designer and Koichiro Ikebuchi, the award winning interior designer.
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.
