Nouveau

Tom learnt from Mr Ogawa that many people have scorn for the nouveau riche.

Tom and Mary are nouveau riche.

One of my favourite things about India is the visionary city of Auroville, created in the 1960s. I wish that China and other countries would aspire to create more visionary cities. I am aware of the Paris-copycat city of Tiāndūchéng in China, complete with the replica of the Eiffel Tower. Fantastic! With 3D printing and AI, city builders around this world will be able to produce more marvellous cities in the future. Imagine that builders will more cheaply opt for Art Nouveau-style architecture and, of course, Metamodernist work. (Art Nouveau is one of my favourite movements.)

Nouveaus are wines to be drunk, not to be sipped.
