008 Exemplar: Centre Georges Pompidou


Centre Georges Pompidou, obviously a well-recognised piece of building which was built ahead of its time. The characteristics that's embodied within this piece of exemplar, is one that is Flexible in nature, but definitely Mobile. Flexibility in the way the building was initially intended for in terms of moving floors, and Mobility, because it is a place for movement, transient not structurally but in the way people and art within, constantly move and changes. It stands the hands of time.

ps: When I was there, I stood stationary for a quite a long period of time both outside and inside the building. It was strange how this museum stood within an urban context that's far removed from any form of similarities, and when standing inside, I feel "comfortable" in the sense that it felt like a building built for "now", 2001 and beyond, and not before.
