The Live Centre of Information: From Pompidou to Beaubourg (1968-71) Book Launch
Monday 6 November 6.30 - 9.00pm
Lloyds Building, One Lime Street, EC3M 7HA.
On Monday 6 November, join Arup and C20 Society for a very special evening at the Lloyds Building.
The event marks the UK launch of ‘The Live Centre of Information: From Pompidou to Beaubourg (1968-71)’ by author Boris Hamzeian.
This definitive new book traces the secret history and first stage of Renzo Piano and Richard Rogers's iconic Parisian cultural complex/project - an architectural utopia that became a reality.
A panel of experts will discuss the architectural and social legacy of Centre Pompidou, the conservation challenges presented by such a radical and pioneering building, and how a comparable cultural public project might look in the twenty first century.
The panel will be chaired by Hugh Pearman and includes:
Boris Hamzeian, Author of ‘The Live Centre of Information: From Pompidou to Beaubourg (1968-71)
Lennart Grut, Senior partner at RSHP and member of the original Centre Pompidou design team
Thomas Pearson, Associate at Arup specialising in architectural heritage
