“The best engineer a few decades ago was someone who could create the most beautiful beam or structure; today it's to do a structure you cannot see or understand how it's done. It disappears and you can talk only about color, symbols, and light. It's an aesthetic of miracle.” DoneLightTodayBeautifulColorMiracleStructureDisappearDecadesSymbolsAestheticEngineersBeam Author:Jean Nouvel

My work deals with what is happening now—our techniques and materials, what we are capable of doing today.” TodayInterestDealsMaterialsCapableHappeningsHistoricalArchitectureTechniqueModernityEpochRethinking Author:Jean Nouvel
