During the month of April 2011 the head of select you have been a photograph of the south facade of the Institut du Monde Arabe, Jean Nouvel located in Paris. We had already discussed this in the entry building devoted to contemporary architecture Paris : The IMA is without doubt one of the contemporary buildings worth visiting in the French capital, which stood at NOUVEL in the list of the greats. 
The Arab World Institute was inaugurated in 1987 (in '81 was called the contest, and construction began in '84). It consists of two sections separated by a deep rift and a square courtyard (the plant interesting, very interesting): the body looks north toward the Seine and is shaped like a knife, with the curved facade. The south, however, is an almost regular parallelepiped with the famous facade mobile lattice work according to the external light by photoelectric cells (broken for some time, or at least without movement, according to my data.) In front of this facade is the entrance plaza also known, in one end, next to Boulevard Saint-Germain, his unique point of access in white marble with these recesses that can bring to mind a maze or an Arab medina . Inside the building are impressive lighting effects and transparencies, which relate the spaces and boundaries blur. impressive
And the situation of the Arab World Institute and Riverfront St Louis, and views from the upper terrace.
