Famous for its "inside-out" approach to its interior workings such as elevators, duct-work and pipes, the Pompidou Centre's design was created by Great Britain's Richard Rogers. In 1971, then-French President Georges Pompidou sought to establish a cultural center where all the arts could be appreciated. An international architectural design competition was held. Rogers, and his design firm, Rogers & Piano, submitted the winning entry for the arts center. Their design features a unique interior where most of the "inner works" of the building are revealed, as visitors stroll through glass passageways and galleries. This unusual juxtaposition provides a relaxed and "open" atmosphere for the building. Also known as the Beaubourg, it has become one of the main tourist attractions in Paris.

Richard Rogers was born in Florence, Italy in 1933. He received his architectual design education at the Architectural Association and Yale University. Rogers has worked with other important British architects -- notably Norman Foster. Among his major works is the headquarters of Lloyd's of London which was completed in 1986.
