Phillip Th alis, Architect: “Which major city in the world is actually proposing such drastic in-trusions into its harbours’ waters? Is the City of London doing this? Is New York proposing buildings, com-mercial private buildings for profi t thrusting into its harbour? Is Paris proposing to bridge the Seine for commercial purposes? No, of course they’re not. It’s an absurd concept.”

Pompidou Centre

Because the utilities have been pushed to the exterior“the building is one huge draught, it isn’t airtight and it consumes enormous amounts of energy”, said Stepha-ne Viale, the building and security director.

“Th e Italian architect, who maintains an offi ce in Paris, has conceded in interviews that he made some mis-takes, notably showing little concern for energy con-servation back when such matters weren’t yet fashion-able.”- N.Y. Times about Piano
