The cultural center in Paris, France turned our world inside out, literally.
President of France from 1969 to 1974, who wanted to construct a cultural center in Paris that would attract visitors and be a monumental aspect of the city.
Their concept, depicted in one of their competition drawings as a collage, was portraying the museum itself as movement.
The other concept in their design, and perhaps the most obvious, was exposing all of the infrastructure of the building.
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.

Was
a high-tech modern cultural center structured with a
system gerberettes and trusses unlike anything seen in the
architectural world before.
The
different systems on the exterior of the building are painted
different colors to distinguish their different roles.
ARTICLE 2: Flashback:
Sendai Mediatheque / Toyo Ito
With the intentions of designing a transparent cultural media center that is supported by a unique system to allow complete visibility and transparency to the surrounding community
Each plan is free form
The tree-like nature of the metal columns of the Mediatheque are continuous with the natural surroundings of the area, as the design is found on a street lined with tree
The building changes along with
the seasons, it’s openness reflective of the summer green and also
the streets during winter.
The
simplest intentions of focusing on plates (floors), tubes (columns),
and skin (facade/exterior walls) allows for a poetic and visually
intriguing design, as well as a complex system of activities and
informational systems.
ARTICLE 3: Danish
Pavilion at Shanghai Expo 2010 by BIG
The pavilion is designed as a traffic loop created by the motion of city bikes and pedestrians tied in a knot.This way, the pavilion's theme Welfairytales (Welfare + Fairytales) re-launches the bicycle in Shanghai as a symbol of lifestyle and sustainable urban development.
"Sustainability is often misunderstood as the neo-protestant notion "that it has to hurt in order to do good"You're not supposed to take long warm showers - because wasting all that water is not good for the environment"
Gradually we all get the feeling that sustainable life simply is less fun than normal life
With the Danish Pavilion we have attempted to consolidate a handful of real experiences of how a sustainable city - such as Copenhagen
MASH UP:
Portraying itself as movement with intentions of designing a transparent. to attract visitors and be a monumental aspect of the city, sustainability will be used all to get the feeling that sustainable life is simple. A skeleton exterior, it shows mechanical and structure systems making the interior plan in free form. With the simplest intentions it focuses on the floor space as well as complex activities that allows a poetic and visually intriguing design. With intentions of a designing transparent structure it maximizes the interior space without interruption. Different system of the building is painted in different colours to distinguish different roles.
