french photographer emmanuel dambrine has taken photos throughout the construction
process of the metz centre pompidou by shigeru ban and jean de gastines. here are some
of his latest images of the building which is nearing completion, due to open in
may this year.

emmanuel describes his work:

'I just want to share my fascination for this modern building in an old town, very nice
but without architectural boldness. the metamorphose of an no man's land in a new area
is fascinating. the link between nature and the project was my first subject. but, rapidly,
I have been captivated by this original construction... I consider my 'work' as a 'chronique
visuelle buisonnière', a good way to explain what I tried to show.'

hmm   03.25.10
no , it is a nice project that perfectly echoes the concept of the Beaubourg legacy....

I find the "square" rectangular-shaped protrusion at the top jarring (square peg in a round hole), otherwise there's a flow to the design. d;-)
