La Centre Pompidou
La Centre
Pompidou was constructed in the 1970s by
architects Renzo Piano and Richard Rogers. This building is complex and radical for
today’s time that is located in the Beaubourg area near Les Haller. Le
Centre Pompidou was 149’ (46m) tall. This Center was designed in a high-tech
architecture style. This style included having escalators, water pipes and air
conditions outside of the buildings to have more space inside to display the
work of arts. As a fact, color coding
was issues as one of the features of the buildings. They
used red for escalators; green for water pipes; blue for air condition pipes;
yellow for electricity pipes; gray for corridors; and white for the walls. La Centre
Pompidou includes the Bibliothèque Publique
Information (Public Library) the Musée
National d’Art Moderne (museum for modern art in Europe) and the IRCAM
(Center for Music). The President of
France from 1969 to 1974 named Georges Pompidou commissioned this building to
create an institution dedicated to modern arts.
