“Every project is an adventure, is a passion,” states Jean Nouvel in a new documentary that follows the Pritzker Prize-winning architect as he travels around the world. The fifteen-minute film, titled Jean Nouvel: Reflections, includes reflections by Nouvel on the major achievements of his career, from the Institut du Monde Arabe to the Doha Tower.

With stylish cinematography and editing, the documentary begins with a meditation on the early influences of Nouvel’s work, notably the events of Paris in May 1968. It shows the architect sketching out his designs and working on site.
