Bubble me crazy
This is what Centre Pompidou could have looked like if Chaneac and Pascal + Claude Hausermann had won the competition instead of Piano+ Rogers. Chaneac's surrealist pumkin-like agglomeration has spooky notes of Guggenheim on the interior courtyard. Unfortunately the future was not so wacky, though the Pompidou that was actually built was plenty crazy in it's time, and forever defined the industrial space-art center relationship, which by the way is so boring and expired. Why do Art centers have to always be in converted industrial spaces? Why couldnt they be in converted hair salons?
and here's some further Chaneac, otherwise know as Jean-Louis Rey.

So you're saying Rogers+Piano were the conservative design...nice.
