What makes an icon? As with the other talks in this series, the intrigue and inspiration that comes with an architectural pilgrimage is alluring. 


In this third talk in the Australian Architecture Association (AAA) Winter Series, Tone Wheeler will take us to, and through, most visited building in Paris, The Pompidou Centre. In a city that boasts the Louvre, the Musee d”Orsay and the Musee du Quai Branly, the Pompidou Centre is in fact the most popular museum in the world!


Tone will take us back to the 1971 architectural competition and look at the ideas of the time, and what bought Renzo Piano from Italy and Richard Rogers from London together to create a building that many believe is a turning point in Modernism? It's a compelling story.


Not just an ‘inside-out’ building, not just a great place to see Paris, and not just a backdrop to the most lively space in Paris, it is a formative work of art, a tour-de-force of architecture.
