Our team-Shigeru Ban, Jean de de Gastines and Philip Gumuchdjian won an

NOX and Dominique Perrault.
The 12,000 m2 cultural complex includes 6,000 m2 of exhibition space all
contained under the roof. Three rectangular, cantilevered boxes house parts
of the Pompidou Centre's permanent collection in a climate controlled environment.
Each of the 87-meter-long and fifteen-meter-wide boxes will be directed
toward a view of one of the city's historic monuments such as the railway
station and the cathedral.
