Pompidou Centre Architecture Exhibition

Exhibition La Tendenza
20 Jun - 10 Sep 2012 11 am - 9 pm
First retrospective in France dedicated to one of the later formation of the architecture of the postwar, from Italy, "The Tendenza, Italian Architecture, 1965-1985" presents a selection of over 250 drawings, models, photographs, paintings, films, and a very rich literature.

The exhibition traces the highlights of the movement which Aldo Rossi was the leader. Rejecting the notion of avant-garde utopia and to initiate a political architecture and critical engagement with reality, the Tendenza is a new approach of the architectural project based on a revival of the drawing and image.

Radical building for its time with service ducts expressed on the exterior and all structure glamourised and articulated externally where possible. The architectural realisation of some Archigram ideas, with escalators providing dynamism to the main west facade. Half of the plot was given over to a rectilinear square which again added dynamism to the architecture. Also known as the Beaubourg Centre or simply The Pompidou building.
