About the Project
• The Centre Pompidou-Metz is a branch of Pompidou arts center of Paris, and features temporary exhibitions from the large collection of the French National Museum of Modern Art, the largest
• European collection of 20th and 21st century arts.

Concept
CHINESE HAT
The 3 Boxes
• 3 galleries extrude out of the building envelope and face towards the three landmarks of the city.(railway station and cathedral)
• He rotated the boxes So that natual light comes directly in eachbox.• Long narrow plan hasbeen inspired fromNAVE of Metz cathedral

Laminated wooden hexagonal
latticework roof structure that “houses”the museum and wraps
around thebuilding.
•three rectangular galleries weaving through the building at differentLevels
•5 five effective spines
a unique experience
• a place for visitors to engage with artistic creation in all its forms
• It is a living venue with events scheduled throughout the year.
THE ROOF STRUCTURE
• The roof is a 90 meters wide hexagon with a surface area of 8,500 m².
• The roof structure is composed of 16 km of glued laminated timber.
• Form hexagonal wooden units resembling the cane-work pattern of a Chinese hat.
• The roof’s geometry is irregular. • The entire wooden structure is covered with a white
PTFE membrane and a coating of Teflon, which has the distinction of being self-cleaning, protects from direct sunlight and also is transparent at night, thus offering viewers a spectacular and unique overview.
Why Wood ? …”because it is an inexhaustible and bio degradable material.”
• 95% of the roof timbers are made from Austrian or Swiss spruce; the remainder are beech and larch.
• Every single beam was CNCmachined to unique proportions.

MATERIALS
• 12,000 m3 of concrete (foundations and structure)• 1,500 tons of reinforcing bars• 970 tons of structural steel (walls and hexagonal tower)• 650 tons of roof timber• 18 km of beams and 16,000 pieces to build the
wooden roof structure• 8,000 sq m of PTFE membrane
Criticism
• The most ironic part of the design is its key feature, the roof.
• Is it a tent? • Is it a dome?• Is it a frame?
• Concept is vague. He completely discards the theory of iconography.(traditionally attached to a theme of the region)
• Internal circulation is disjoint• Roof becomes ponderous.• Though the structure is pleasing, but it is very
difficult to execute.
Criticism
conclusion
• If something looks pleasing,it need not to have iconography
