About
Awarded the Pritzker Prize in 2008 for his work on over 200 projects; co-founded Mars 1976 and Syndicat de l'Architecture. He was also given the Wolf Prize in Arts in 2005, and the Institut du Monde Arabe that he designed was awarded the Aga Khan Award for Architecture.
Family
His parents, Renée and Roger Nouvel, were both teachers and were living in Fumel, Lot-et-Garonne, France, when he was born. They moved a great deal because of his father's position with the county as chief school superintendent. His decision to study architecture was a compromise with his parents, who were unsure of his desire to study art and wanted him to go into engineering or education.
