Légende
The Pompidou centre is a bold distinctive modern building located right in the heart of Paris. It was custom built as a place for art and culture and is named in honour of George Pompidou who was the President of the French Republic from 1969 until 1974.The building was conceived by an international group of architects which included the Italians Renzo Piano and Gianfranco Franchini, and the British husband and wife team Richard and Su Rogers. They came up with the famously innovative inside-out design, putting the supporting superstructure, plumbing, ventilation system, cables, ducts, lifts and escalators on the outside of the building, allowing the creation of a vast and flexible interior space.
When it was first built the Pompidou centre was hugely controversial but now it has become widely accepted as an iconic Paris landmark.The building was officially opened on 31st January 1977 by President Valéry Giscard d’Estaing.
