The Centre Pompidou (architects: Renzo Piano, Richard Rogers) is also called "La Raffinierie" by the locals. When you look at the exterior façade, you immediately recognise how it got this name. The supporting structure and pipes for building services and access were visibly arranged on the outside of the building. The supporting structure and ventilation pipes are painted white, the transport (stairs, escalators) red, the electrics yellow, the water pipes green and the air conditioning pipes blue.
MXPRIVÉ is a Berlin-based photographer whose work transforms architecture into visual poetry. Exploring the sensuality of space, light, and surface, he creates minimal compositions that invite a tactile experience. His images reveal the quiet presence of buildings by focusing on texture, abstraction, and emotional clarity. Working intuitively and with great attention to detail, he seeks to capture the essence of architectural form beyond mere documentation.
