The new Fondation Cartier space encompasses 8,500 square meters, with 6,500 square meters dedicated to exhibition areas. Among these are five mobile platforms that span 1,200 square meters, allowing for a dynamic reconfiguration of the space and creating vertical areas up to 11 meters high.
Jean Nouvel's design aims to integrate the building's historical context, emphasizing an open architecture with large bay windows that open views of the surrounding Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré, Rue de Rivoli, and Place du Palais-Royal.
The collaboration between Fondation Cartier and Jean Nouvel dates back to 1994 when the architect designed the 'Parisian Monument,' a glass and steel building on Boulevard Raspail that serves as the institution's current headquarters.
This feature allows for a continuous renewal of the environment, enabling varied artistic installations and offering flexibility and space for creativity, aligning the architecture with the Fondation's mission.
