The Centre Pompidou

Archibald, a curious little boy with a passion for architecture, accompanies children from age seven years and up in learning about this symbolic contemporary building. The appearance in 1977 of this “giant Meccano” in the Parisian landscape was an exciting event. This book shows children the technical prowess of the experimental architecture which has renewed the image of the museum. As they walk through this playful, transparent building where a museum, library, cinemas and creative workshops coexist, they discover the multiple relationships between architecture and contemporary art.
