The colorful design of the building was originally made to give the Parisians and the world a city inside of a city where you can find great art, good food, and a lot of educational and fun events for the entire family. 

The Pompidou Center was a revolutionary project and visually different from everything else known by then in the world of architecture.

The green pipes are plumbing, blue ducts are for climate control, electrical wires are encased in yellow, and circulation elements and devices for safety are red.
