The immensely popular Georges Pompidou Center, with its whimsically industrial-looking exoskeleton and exterior escalators, rises out of the center of historic Paris like an image from a science fiction movie. Using computer graphics and archival photos and footage, this program reveals how Renzo Piano and Richard Rogers designed and constructed the Center, while interior footage illustrates how that immense space is divided up to house, among other things, a museum, a library, a design center, and a music center. Not available in French-speaking Canada. (27 minutes)
