A detail of the Institut du Monde Arabe, on June 29, 2008, in the 5th arrondissement of Paris, France. Built in 1987-88 to designs by Jean Nouvel, a French architect born in 1945, the building is one of the Grands Projets encouraged by President Mitterand in the 1980s, whose purpose is to foster knowledge of Arab world culture. Of frame and glass curtain wall construction, a main feature is the South facade, seen here through the main entrance. The decorative pierced diaphragms react to sunlight and control the light levels in the building captured here on a summer evening.
