Jean Nouvel designs peen again

Architects are known to never limit their line of work. 2008 Pritzker Prize winner Jean Nouvel has designed everything from hotels to concert halls, and now the latest from Kiki de Montparnasse is this sleek YSL's new fragrance bottle for the French fashion house.
Nouvel states he "wanted it to be very ergonomic, so you can put it in your coat pocket".

Let me explain why I am a bit bewildered by his comment. Nouvel seem to just love peen. His Torre Agbar in Barcelona, which Jean Nouvel, in an interview, described it as having a phallic character."

And again, the Doha Towers


Nouvel's new building NewYork MOMA , the new 75-story concrete and glass building consisting of a luxury hotel, some condos, an underground restaurant with a glass ceiling, and additional art galleries for its neighbor, is described as "shiny, silver, hard, slightly curved, and it even has veins."


Does it bother you when tall buildings are considered phallic? I would say yes. When a man designs a phallic building, it is lauded as penis-worship. When a woman designs it, she has Penis-envy. But for Nouvel to blatantly say "Yes! It is phallic", that is just creepy. He just seem to replace the skin on his designs, keeping the overall shape permanent. Will the Starchitect continue to build many more homages to his obsession with erections (or maybe power)? Or maybe I'm being too crude. Perhaps eroticism unconsciously flood our sensations and it just happens! Like pregnancy.
