Architect Jean Nouvel

New monument of Manhattan's West Side


A new monument of Manhattan`s West Side in New York has become a sky scraper by well-known french architect Jean Nouvel. 
Construction of the facade captures attention at first glance; the window frames are accentuated looking scattered. In reality, 20 smaller functional windows are situated on one big panel. Walls were really designed from the inside out. A typical floor is composed by seven megapanels and each of them corresponds to a room. The biggest room has fabulous view on the street. Steel was used for the exterior, while the interior was treated with a layer of silver anodized aluminum. Various glass coatings add another layer of depth of light.
