[Tour Montparnasse, Close view of the observation deck at the roof, depicting the inverted northeast façade]
Creators
Eugène Elie Beaudouin (French architect, 1898-1983)
Description
At the time of construction the tower, with 59 floors, was classified as the highest building not only in Paris but Europe. The tower became a symbol of new modern Paris. The tower was designed by architects Eugène Beaudouin, Urbain Cassan and Louis Hoym de Marien and built by Campenon Bernard. (Source: Wikipedia; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page)

[Centre Georges Pompidou, Skyline view looking northeast over Paris, showing the Centre Georges Pompidou in relation to its context]
Creators
Renzo Piano (Italian architect, born 1937); Richard Rogers (British architect, born 1933)
Description
The museum now holds one of the finest collections of 20th-century art in the world. The centre also functions as a showcase for all the creative arts, and there is an ambitious programme of temporary exhibitions. The building is ostentatiously modern, particularly in contrast to the historic buildings which surround it. Built between 1971 and 1977 to the designs of Renzo Piano (1937-) and Richard Rogers (1933- ), the service ducts and escalators are placed on the exterior of the building and brightly colour-coded to reveal their functions; thus the interior is singularly adaptable, having no fixed internal walls. The building is now a major tourist attraction, visited by more people than the Eiffel Tower. However, it has been criticized as unsuitable for displaying paintings and, more damagingly, for the durability of the exterior which has weathered badly.

Description
The headquarters and production facilities for Canal+, on the left bank of the Seine, just west of the Pont Mirabeau and just east of the Parc Citroen, is divided into a western wing for administration facing the Seine, and a wide, eastern wing for audio-visual production. Conceptually, Canal+ depends on a series of delicately tessellated membranes. Of primary importance is the combination of clear, translucent, and opaque white glass that make up the curtain wall on the river facade, in conjunction with the projecting, lightweight aluminum brise-soleils along its entire length. A similar curtain wall is on the southern facade of the audiovisual wing facing the park. (Source: Richard Meier & Partners; http://www.richardmeier.com/)

The headquarters and production facilities for Canal+, on the left bank of the Seine, just west of the Pont Mirabeau and just east of the Parc Citroen, is divided into a western wing for administration facing the Seine, and a wide, eastern wing for audio-visual production. Conceptually, Canal+ depends on a series of delicately tessellated membranes. Of primary importance is the combination of clear, translucent, and opaque white glass that make up the curtain wall on the river facade, in conjunction with the projecting, lightweight aluminum brise-soleils along its entire length. A similar curtain wall is on the southern facade of the audiovisual wing facing the park. (Source: Richard Meier & Partners; http://www.richardmeier.com/)
