A low angle view 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, an French architect born in 1945, the building of frame and glass curtain wall construction is one of the Grands Projets encouraged by President Mitterand in the 1980s. Its purpose is to foster knowledge of Arab world culture. The main entrance towers are seen towards a cloudy blue sky, and in the background is the South facade whose decorative pierced diaphragms react to sunlight and control the light levels in the building.
