The team's architectural intention
Building on the lines of an "evolving spatial diagram".Large degree of flexibility.Facades that would be "information surfaces.To maximise spatial movement and flow
Design Phase
1. A 3-level infrastructure housing the technicalfacilities and service areas,
2. A vast 7-level glass and steel superstructure,including a terrace and mezzanine f loor
The style
revealed structure exposed ducts machine-precision aesthetics
--- Greater care given on how they work.

VENTILATION DUCTS
Exposed first Time
COLOUR-CODED DUCTS
Movement and flow Maximise functional movement and flow Inside out.--Free from circulation and servicing Attractive differences rather than soft-edged harmony. The building portrays its own datum . This public display of components---steel skeleton and diagonal
bracing as outcome of interior requirement. Unobstructed and adaptable interior volumes
The exterior zone of the structural frame is there to provide tensionforces outside the main volume's external columns, pulling thecantilevered horizontal members downward to reduce the bendingforces on the floor span.-- eliminates the need for supporting columnsacross the interior span of 157 feet (53.3 meters)mechanical and air-conditioning services are then placed in theexoskeletal frame
Air
Fluids
Electricity cables
Movement and flow (elevators)
Safety (fire extinguishers).

Inside Pompidou
Public access to the museum areas is
not from the escalator tubes, as thebuilding exterior seems to suggest, butfrom doors located centrally at thelower edge of the plaza
Double-height interior forum connectsthe street level with the plaza level in asingle volume .
Plaza-level reception area also looksdown into a performance-levelbasement where a theater and meetingrooms are situated.
An interior escalator takes visitors to the streetlevel on the northwest corner of the building
Small lobby connects to elevators and theexterior escalator.-- visitors can already lookdown 46 feet-- In reality, the escalator serves onlythe mezzanine, level four, and level six
Horizontal circulation platforms occur insidethe frame most of them restricted to staffaccess and emergency exits.

Critical Structural Issues Achieving column free space
In plan, the superstructure of the building consists of three zones.
1. The middle zone contains the 157-foot clear span across thebuilding interior between the main columns.
2. The outside two zones make up structural wall frames tosupport and cantilever.
Outer tension in the wall frame act to reduce the bendingmoments on the center of the span

As a Building
Turning the building inside out was the most successfullyrealized architectural intention.
Static monumentalism is out; dynamic servicing andflexible floor space is in.
A symbol ofprocess and technology
A ceiling isn't required to shape a space, as many urbanspaces. Our vision is more oriented to the horizontal thanto the vertical.
Structural exhibitionism
