| Summary: | "French architect, Jean Nouvel, has long been known in Europe for his bold, shimmering glass and steel museums, concert halls, and high-rise towers. Now the much-acclaimed new Guthrie Theater in Minneapolis, Minnesota, which opened in 2006, is displaying Nouvel's remarkable talents to an American public. With a cantilevered lobby that extends 175 feet over the Mississippi River, the dark midnight-blue, aluminum-paneled structure has captivated the culturally conscious city and helped spur the rejuvenation of a once industrial waterfront. In the tour, Nouvel takes us through three distinctive theaters he designed for the Guthrie, and out on the cantilevered deck to view the legendary river that inspired this boldly elevated design"--Container. |
