Article source: Jakob+MacFarlane The bar is a new project, built inside the volume of previously housing the cloakroom and restrooms. This new ‘Pink’ space, as second generation project, is conceived as a resultant element based on the same grid of the original restaurant project. Instead of deforming the grid to create the surfaced volumes, we instead carved out a resultant volume from a 3D matrix of 40 cubic centimetres, a micro division of the original building grid at the Centre Pompidou. This matrix is built from 10mm aluminium sheets using laser cutting technology.  Images Courtesy Nicolas Borel
