Cree/Soedit, ca. 1977. Softcover. 98 pages. 28 x 22 cm. Used. VG · Minor signs of wear at cover. The Pompidou is a complex building in the Beaubourg area of the 4th arrondissement of Paris, near Les Halles, rue Montorgueil, and the Marais. It was designed in the style of high-tech architecture by the architectural team of Richard Rogers, Su Rogers, Renzo Piano, along with Gianfranco Franchini. It was the first major example of an 'inside-out' building with its structural system, mechanical systems, and circulation exposed on the exterior of the building. Initially, all of the functional structural elements of the building were colour-coded. This special edition is an extract from issue 46 of Cree and was published around 1977. If you like this building you will love this book.
