Let's make this birthday one to remember.

79 years old (Born on August 12, 1945)

Happy Birthday, Jean Nouvel! You've built more than 200 masterpieces, won the prestigious Pritzker Prize in 2008, and even snagged the Wolf Prize in Arts. Clearly, your architectural genius is as timeless as your sleek designs—though we're still trying to figure out how you manage to make concrete look so effortlessly chic.

From co-founding Mars 1976 and Syndicat de l'Architecture to designing the iconic Institut du Monde Arabe (which earned you an Aga Khan Award), you've truly reshaped skylines worldwide. May your birthday be filled with joy—and may all your future projects stand tall without needing revisions!
