The Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris, France, known also as Beaubourg, is set to undergo major renovation works. Designed in the 1970s by architects Renzo Piano and Richard Rogers, and inaugurated in 1977, one of the capital’s leading cultural attractions is scheduled to be closed completely as of the end of 2023 until 2027.

After more than a century since Le Corbusier shared his ideas for Dom-Ino, contemporary architecture, in the wake of a lingering modern era, continues to invest in using glass as a solution for walls and facades. Naturally, the meaning of this material has changed a little over time. Transparency was originally used to reveal the structure, making it more comprehensible, but it has become increasingly associated with ideological values and has been used in government buildings because it evokes an idealistic o
