Night Waves: Landmark

BBC Radio 3
on BBC Radio 3

The Centre Georges Pompidou was opened 30 years ago in 1977. Today its external casing of brightly coloured pipes and escalators is regarded as a classic of contemporary architecture and a major visitors' attraction in Paris. But at the time of its creation, the Pompidou Centre's architects, Renzo Piano and Richard Rogers , were relative unknowns, and their distinctive design according to one commentator
"turned the architecture world upside down". Philip Dodd and guests discuss the origins, history and legacy of a building that can truly claim to be a modern landmark. Producer Anthony Denselow
