my early-in-my-work-life “master”, Jean Nouvel, finally gets the Pritzker Prize, the equivalent of architecture’s Nobel Prize. I remember working there with no French citizen in sight and everybody speaking english in the office, that was global already.
We worked on this competition (the never ending tower in the Paris Business District) litterally from 9.00 am until 1.00 am every days for about 2 weeks, and I felt guilty because I was the first one to leave the office to catch the last subway…The project manager was waiting for “jean-jean” to stop by after his daily evening stop at “Les Bains” the parisian version of New York’s Studio 54….
