The architect Jean Nouvel's gallery Fondation Cartier for Contemporary Art is an exercise in transparency and the perennial quest to remove the barrier between inside and outside. A building 'box' with glass walls would not do the trick: you could see through the walls, but you would be clearly either inside or outside the box. In the Fondation Cartier Nouvel has extended the glass walls beyond the box, creating extra tall glass planes in the wild-flower garden, and extending the glass facade several meters above the roof terrace. At the edge of the plot he has created a whole extra glass plane as the street facade, wholly separate from the main box of the building.
