Proposed

In February 2008, Mr. Nouvel agreed to design a rakish 45-story luxury condo tower in upscale Century City section of Los Angeles, California. The tower will be a very bold, modern design -- it will look like a transparent garden from most angles.

In November 2007, Mr. Nouvel was tapped to build a new 75-story tower next to the Museum of Modern Art in Midtown Manhattan. The tower will house a hotel, luxury apartments and three floors (2nd, 4th, and 5th) will be used by MoMA to expand its exhibition space.

In April 2007, Jean Nouvel associated with Marshall Day Acoustics Ltd win architecture competition to build a new Orchestra Hall (Philharmonie de Paris) in Paris, close to Cité de la Musique (opening in 2012)

The Centre for Sustainable Development in Le Havre, France. Project including the construction of a 120 m high tower on a former seaport area.

Projects under construction

The tower is next to the Venus (mural) (1970) by New York painter Knox Martin [1] on the south side of Bayview Correctional Facility and will block the 10 story mural from view.
