Architecture Nouvel

One of the lesser known French architects, Jean Nouvel, packs punch after punch in his architecture. A la Monde Arabe a Paris. What a dramatic effect; love it!

I am not sure why my 4-year old daughter loves so very much to watch old clips of Julia Child, but I am so very happy that she does. We enjoy these times together. I find it so very interesting that while I am trained as an architect, I am finding that I may have nearly as much enjoyment in life out of cooking, and finding great recipes, and then enjoying them ever so much the same.
