The Pritzker Prize-winning architect describes the working environments as options for replacing the \u201cgray cultural world of purpose-built offices.\u201d To illustrate Nouvel’s disdain for standard workstations, the center of the 13,000-square-foot installation will have a dramatic, ripped-apart presentation. He claims that one-size-fits-all solutions don\u2019t work for anyone.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cWe spend a lot more time inhabiting our workplaces than we spend at home, eating or sleeping,\u201d Nouvel has said. \u201cOffices are therefore living spaces that should be seen not just as the same old method actors playing a functional and effectual role, but as individuals pleased to be there.\u201d The architect’s scenarios have been created for a range of environments: an apartment, loft, private house, skyscraper, factory and the abstract.<\/p>\n
Another section of the exhibition will showcase classic pieces of furniture by designers such as Jean Prouv\u00e9 and Charlotte Perriand as well as new pieces being unveiled at the fair.<\/p>\n
