Different views of and from the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris, in the summer of 1983. The building in the 4e arrondissement had officially opened only seven years earlier. Designed in the high-tech architecture style by Italian architect Renzo Piano, British architects Richard and Su Rogers and Gianfranco Franchini, it features an exposed skeleton of brightly coloured tubes. Each colour denotes a particular function: green pipes are for plumbing, blue is for climate control, yellow for electrical wiring, and red for circulation elements and safety elements.
The first photo here shown was damaged in an apartment fire, the original negative gone missing. The third photo shows a group of Hare Krishna devotees in the main square in front of the centre.
