Members of the high-tech movement, to which Jean Nouvel undoubtedly belongs with a significant part of his work, are often criticized for the weak conceptual and philosophical foundation of their creations. Aside from a few hard technological dogmas (serial production, dry assembly, nothing but metal, glass, and plastics, portability, the building constructs itself, etc.), most high-tech architects evidently get by with a simple belief in the goodness of technical and civilizational progress.
Nouvel is an exception. He also appears as a pure, albeit somewhat more skeptical and wiser progressive. However, he distinguishes himself from other high-tech architects by his economical effort to give his work a deeper intellectual foundation. In the chaos of today’s world, according to Nouvel, an architect cannot orient himself without the help of modern science and philosophy.
Studying the texts of contemporary French philosophers - Foucault, Guattari, Deleuze - gives Nouvel’s work a different direction than the overly stylistic and overly aesthetic one, to which the philosopher Jacques Derrida inadvertently inspired deconstructivist architecture. Modern philosophy teaches Nouvel to think about the realities of today's world, providing order and substance to his design methods and concepts.
