What architectural element is Nouvel known for incorporating into his facades?

  • Murals

  • Living walls

  • Louvers

  • Neon signs

Answer

Louvers, a signature element in Jean Nouvel's architectural designs, are sunshade-like components that control the passage of light and air into buildings while also providing privacy and ventilation. Often featured on building facades, louvers add a unique aesthetic dimension to Nouvel's structures, allowing him to play with light and shadow effects and create dynamic, ever-changing visual experiences.
