A major itinerant exhibition dedicated to the French maestro and produced by the Vitra Design Museum starts off in the UK, at the Design Museum in London, where it will be showing until March 25, 2008. Richard Rogers has spoken enthusiastically about the event dedicated to Prouvé and regards him, as do many others, as a pioneer of High Tech architecture, for his skill in connecting construction processes and design language. It is also a well-known fact that Jean Prouvé was president of the competition jury for the building of the Pompidou Centre, and responsible for the victory of the revolutionary design by Piano and Rogers.
