The building Located in the historic centre of Paris, the Arab World Institute - which was has been open to the public since December 1987- was designed by a group of architects (Jean Nouvel and Architecture Studio) who attempted to combine Arab and western culture. The north facade faces the historic part of Paris, and symbolises the relationship with the old city, whose presence is alluded to on the façade. The south facade takes up the historic themes of Arab geometry in the design of the 240 moucharabiehs that make it up. These diaphragms open and close on every hour. |
