STRUCTURE SYSTEM

➢ THE STRUCTURAL SYSTEM OF THE BUILDING IS FRAME

STRUCTURE WITH CONCRETE COLUMNS AND BEAMS.
➢ WHOLE PLANNING OF BUILDING IS IN GRID, IT WAS EASY TO
PUT THE COLUMNS AT THE JUNCTION.
➢ ON GROUND FLOOR, THE EXHIBITION SPACE WAS NEED TO BE
COLUMN FREE AND IT SHOULD BE MULTI-USEABLE, SO ALL THE
COLUMNS ARE PLACE AT THE PERIPHERY. • ABOUT STRUCTURE:

DESCRIPTION
➢ IN 1970 AN INTERNATIONAL ARCHITECTURAL
COMPETITION WAS LAUNCHED BASED ON A
PROGRAM TO BUILD A CULTURAL AND ARTS
COMPLEX IN THE CENTRE OF HISTORIC PARIS SET
OUT BY FRENCH PRESIDENT GEORGES POMPIDOU.
➢ CHAIRED BY THE FRENCH ARCHITECT JEAN
PROUVÉ, THE PRIZE-WINNERS SELECTED BY THE JURY
WERE RENZO PIANO, RICHARD ROGERS AND
GIANFRANCO FRANCHINI, ASSISTED BY OVE ARUP &
PARTNERS.
➢ THE STRUCTURAL ENGINEERS IN CHARGE ON
ARUP'S BEHALF WERE THE ENGLISHMAN EDMUND
HAPPOLD AND THE IRISHMAN PETER RICE WHO
HAD ALREADY WORKED TOGETHER ON THE
STRUCTURAL DESIGN FOR THE SYDNEY OPERA
HOUSE.
➢ CONSTRUCTION WORK STARTED IN APRIL 1972 AND
WORK ON THE METAL FRAMEWORK WAS BEGUN IN
SEPTEMBER 1974. ON FEBRUARY 2ND 1977, THE
CENTRE POMPIDOU OPENED ITS DOORS TO THE
PUBLIC. URBAN CONTEXT
➢ A FURTHER IMPORTANT ELEMENT WAS THE ARCHITECT'S
INTENTION TO CREATE A MEETING SPACE NOT ONLY
FOR THE ART LOVER, BUT ALSO FOR THE LOCAL
RESIDENTS.
➢ THE LARGE SLIGHTLY SLOPED PAVED PIAZZA IN FRONT OF
THE BUILDING FULFILLS THIS ROLE INTRODUCING THE
HIGH-TECH STRUCTURE OF THE BUILDING TO ITS
TRADITIONAL SURRUNDINGS AND PARIS STREET LIFE.
➢ ON HI WEBSITE RICHARD ROGERS NOTES THAT
"POMPIDOU PROVES THAT MODERNITY AND TRADITION
CAN PROFITABLY INTERACT AND ENHANCE HISTORIC
DESIGN CONCEPT CITIES."
➢ ROGERS' AND PIANO'S CONCEPT FOR THE CENTRE POMPIDOU
DREW MAJOR INFLUENCES FROM THE WORKS OF CEDRIC
PRICE WHO EXPERIMENTED IN THE 1960S WITH OPEN FORMS
AND FLEXIBLE SPACES.
➢ TO MAXIMIZE INTERNAL SPACE, THEY TURNED THE
CONSTRUCTION INSIDE-OUT AND EXPOSED A SKELETON OF
BRIGHTLY COLORED TUBES FOR MECHANICAL SYSTEMS.
➢ THE DUCTS ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE BUILDING ARE COLOUR-
CODED: BLUE FOR AIR, GREEN FOR FLUIDS, YELLOW FOR
ELECTRICITY CABLES AND RED FOR MOVEMENT AND FLOW
(ELEVATORS, STAIRS) AND SAFETY (FIRE EXTINGUISHERS).
➢ AS WITH PRICE'S FUN PALACE, AN UNBUILT PROJECT, THE
PRIORITY WAS TO MAXIMISE FUNCTIONAL MOVEMENT AND
FLOW, FREEING UP INTERNAL SPACE AND FACILITATING THE
INTERACTION BETWEEN DIFFERENT DISCIPLINES.
BUILDING STRUCTURE
➢ THE BUILDING WAS DESIGNED ON THE LINES OF AN "EVOLVING
SPATIAL DIAGRAM" IN TWO PARTS: FIRSTLY, A 3-LEVEL
INFRASTRUCTURE HOUSING THE TECHNICAL FACILITIES AND SERVICE
AREAS; SECONDLY, A VAST 7-LEVEL GLASS AND STEEL
SUPERSTRUCTURE, INCLUDING A TERRACE AND MEZZANINE FLOOR,
CONCENTRATING MOST OF THE CENTRE'S AREAS OF ACTIVITY.
➢ THE BUILDING'S METAL FRAMEWORK HAS 14 PORTICOS WITH 13
BAYS, EACH SPANNING 48 M AND STANDING 12.8 M APART.
➢ ON TOP OF THE POSTS, ON EACH LEVEL, ARE MOULDED STEEL BEAM
HANGERS, MEASURING 8 M IN LENGTH AND WEIGHING 10 TONNES.
➢ 45 M LONG GIRDERS REST ON THE BEAM HANGARS, WHICH SPREAD
STRESS THROUGH THE POSTS AND ARE BALANCED BY TIE-BEAMS
ANCHORED ON CROSS-BARS.
➢ EACH STOREY IS 7 M HIGH FLOOR-TO-FLOOR. THE GLASS AND STEEL
SUPERSTRUCTURE ENVELOPS THE FREE OPEN SPACES.
➢ THE CENTRE POMPIDOU HOUSES A MUSEUM OF MODERN ART,
REFERENCE LIBRARY, INDUSTRIAL DESIGN CENTRE, TEMPORARY
EXHIBITION SPACE, CHILDREN’S LIBRARY AND ART CENTRE, AUDIO-
VISUAL RESEARCH CENTRE (IRCAM) AND RESTAURANTS.
➢ IT UNDERWENT RENOVATION FROM 1996 TO 1999 AND REOPENED
ON JANUARY 1ST 2000.
➢ IN 2010 AN EXTENSION TO THE CENTRE POMPIDOU DESIGNED BY
THE JAPANESE ARCHITECT SHIGERU BAN OPENED AS THE CENTRE
POMPIDOU METZ IN THE WEST OF FRANCE.

STRUCTURAL SYSTEM
EACH OF THE 13 BAYS CONSISTS OF A
TRUSS, SUPPORTED BY COLUMNS ON
BOTH SIDES. TO STABILIZE EACH BAY ON
BOTH SIDES, GERBERETTES WERE USED.
GERBERETTES ARE SMALL
NIGHT TIME PRESENCE CANTILEVERED PIVOTING BEAMS THAT
ALLOW THE TIE RODS AND THE
COLUMNS TO SHARE THE VERTICAL
LOAD. WHERE THE GERBERETTE MEETS
THE COLUMN IS NOW THE FULCRUM
POINT OF THE CANTILEVER, CAUSING
THE TIE RODS TO BE IN TENSION WHILE
