Centre Pompidou, Paris’s famous contemporary art gallery, will start to close for renovations in the northern autumn before a complete shutdown next year.
As Paris builds up for the Olympic Games to start on July 26, one of the city’s stellar cultural institutions and modern architectural wonders is preparing to wind down.
Designed by Pritzker Prize laureates Renzo Piano and Richard Rogers and opened in 1977, the building is renowned for its high-tech architectural style, featuring signature flourishes of primary colour pops and a huge “caterpillar” escalator running diagonally up one facade.But it was never intended – by the architects, at least – to be a permanent edifice. Work is scheduled to reconfigure, re-engineer and restore the building, which will keep it closed for at least five years.
The mixed-use STH BNK By Beulah development in Melbourne which is scheduled for completion in 2027 will contain a Centre Pompidou “cultural partnership”, with a 3000-square-metre gallery space hosting associated exhibitions, workshops and cultural events for young people.
