Piano was inspired by two people in his profession during his lifetime, JeanProuve and Franco Albini. These two men were his mentors during his 35 year successful career. Piano started working as an Architect independently, then was affiliated with Richard Rogers beforeopening his final firm with fellow architect Peter Rice in 1980.

An active and accessible machine in which the arts couldinteract with each other and all social strata.1

Centre Georges Pompidou opened in 1978 centered in the heart of Paris s historical center. The building stands as a form which houses various functions.Within the structure is an Art Museum, a library, a design center, and also a music center. The bold architectural style used by Piano and Rogers contrasts with the historic buildings in the crowdedarea of downtown Paris. President Pompidou proposed a building in 1969 for this former site of Les Halles. This cultural center stands six stories tall and rises above the other buildings in closeproximity. One prominent design feature of the site is the large open area in front of Centre Georges Pompidou. Piano used incorporated this feature in his design to include a place for visitors and theParisians to enjoy the beauty of the building. The space is similar to the Italian idea of a “piazza”.
