Beyond the structure's form and
its influences, the Temporary Studio is interesting in its
siting on the roof of its ultimate product's predecessor.
As it serves to create something wholly new many kilometers
away, it exploits the structural invention of the original
Pompidou design, giving a newfound appreciation to a building
that has been accepted by some - but definitely not all -
of Paris. But unlike other
recent interventions, Ban's design doesn't contrast the
original, instead paying a subtle homage to it with another
simple yet innovative structure. |
