It´s surely a building like no other. Richard Rogers, Renzo Piano and Arup put down this thing in the middle of Paris - what an uproar there must have been! I liked everything about it, turning the structural and MEP systems inside out, and noted that the square outside, is a hangout for youngsters hanging out, playing music, reading etc. And thus giving energy back to the building.
What a thing to accomplish!
The collection is also really to my liking. Super high quality.
Did you know Peter Rice personally? I got his autobiography “An engineer imagines” some months ago, but have not read it yet.
