Description : The Carré d'Art was built in 1993 by English architect Norman Foster to become Nimes media library and museum of contemporary art. A gleaming example of French architectural boldness, the Carrée d'Art, by British architect Norman Foster. In spite of its size, this box of glass, aluminium and concrete sits modestly among the ancient roofs of Nîmes, its slender portico echoing that of the Roman temple opposite. Light pours in through walls and roof, giving it a grace and weightlessness that makes it not in the least incongruous.
