The winner of this year's Pritzker Prize, Jean Nouvel, is the architect behind one of my favorite buildings in Paris, l'Institut du Monde Arabe. It has gorgeous clean angles and delicate details, and I spent hours wandering around it and drinking delicious mint tea in its Café Littéraire in 2004. Had no idea who designed it until the NYT told me today.
The institute isn't the easiest place to photograph, but I tried a few times. Will scan and post those when I get back next week from a brief and slightly insane trip.
Off to the airport!
