JEAN NOUVEL 2008
Frenchman Jean
Nouvel has broken the
aesthetic of modernism
and post-modernism to
create a stylistic
language all his own.
Jean Nouvel’s projects
transform the
landscapes in which
they are built, often
becoming major urban
events in their own
right. His unique approach, driven by the specificities of context,
program, and site has proven effective in numerous successes around
the world.

The Library of Congress building, today known as the Thomas Jefferson Building, was opened in
1897 and touted as "the largest, the costliest, and the safest" library building in the world and a
national temple to the arts. Striking architectural features of this Beaux-Arts building include the
double staircase rising to the arcaded entrance, the pairs of giant columns supporting the portico,
and the dome of copper crowning the building. The scale of the Library matched that of the largest
libraries in Europe of its time.
