Centre Pompidou-Metz

Exhibition volumes gather beneath a broad timber roof.

The project, in context

Designed by Shigeru Ban with Jean de Gastines, the museum extends the Pompidou Centre’s programme to Metz. Its woven timber roof creates a sheltered civic threshold, while gallery volumes reach out toward views of the city.
