jean nouvel and our nouvels













My mate Narein has highlighted the remarkable similarities between these two sets of structures; temporary pavillion at the Serpentine Gallery by Jean Nouvel and the 2009 SLIA Exhibition structures, especially the members stall. Remember that  the SLIA Exhibition came before Jean Nouvel's structure.

more details of Jean Nouvel's Pavillion at Serpentine Gallery could be seen  here.  As this an annual event, there are a series of pavillions designed by prominent architects.
