STRUCUTURE
• The building was designed on the lines of an "evolving spatial diagram" in two parts : firstly, a 3-level infrastructure housing the technical facilities and service areas; secondly, a vast 7-level glass and steel superstructure, including a terrace and mezzanine floor, concentrating most of the centre's areas of activity.
• On top of the posts, on each level, are moulded steel beam hangers, measuring 8 m in length and weighing 10 tonnes. 45 m long girders rest on the beam hangars, which spread stress through the posts and are balanced by tie-beams anchored on cross-bars.
• Each storey is 7 m high floor-to-floor and the glass and steel superstructure envelops the free open spaces.

INTERIORS
• The Centre Pompidou houses the Musée National d’Art Moderne, which is Europe’s largest museum for modern art.
• Also located in the vast open interior is the Bibliothèque publique d’information, a huge public library, and a center for music and acoustic research known as IRCAM.
• The flat open site upon which it is located is a constant exterior stage for urban events and is is noted for the presence of street performers, such as mimes and jugglers. In the spring, miniature carnivals are installed temporarily into the place in front with a wide variety of attractions: bands, caricature and sketch artists, tables set up for evening dining, and even skateboarding competitions.

• The design exemplified constructivism and was a high-tech modern cultural centre structured with a system trusses unlike anything seen in the architectural world before.
• The skeleton itself engulfs the building from its exterior, showing all of the different mechanical and structure systems not only so that they could be understood but also to maximize the interior space without interruptions.

IMPACT ON ARCHITECURAL WORLD
• High-tech architectural style is characterised by a "nuts-and-bolts, exposed-pipes, technological look". The Pompidou Centre is a building that epitomises it.
• It heralded the emergence of High-tech which brought a refreshing new face to modern architecture, which was becoming increasingly associated with brutalist slabs encased in grimy concrete, and the bad press they received for their failings.
• Science and technology were having a major impact on society - the memory of the Apollo moon landings was still fresh - and there was a feeling that with the right technology anything was possible. Architecture, too, was having its techno moment, as traditional construction gave way to space frames with metal and glass cladding, and extensive use of factory-produced materials and components.

• On the design of the Pompidou Centre, Richard Rogers notes that "Pompidou proves that modernity and tradition can profitably interact and enhance historic cities.“
• Receiving more than 150 million visitors since is completion thirty three years ago, there is no doubt that Pompidou’s vision became a successful reality.
