Bowellism

Bowellism

Modern style of architecture associated with Richard Rogers. In 1977 Rogers, along with Renzo Piano, completed the Pompidou Centre in Paris. Based on the rationale that the greatest amount of floor space possible should be allowed for the interior so as to maximize space to appreciate the exhibitions, everything from the lifts to the sewage pipes were made visible on the outside of the structure. This inside-out style was termed 'Bowellism'.
